What Does it Mean "Christian Living" ?
A brief summary on the expectations for Christian Living is found in Acts 2, we read:
"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." (Acts 2:41-42)
A Christians life starts with the Gladly Receiving of the Word. This is salvation, the moment someone receives the "Word" of John 1 and accepts Him as their personal saviour, they are saved.
Christians should then follow in obedience, and be Baptized. This is the scriptural symbolic public testimony of a life changed by Christ, testifying that they have died to the world and are alive through the one who redeemed them by His blood.
An obedient heart should long to be added unto the local church. This step in obedience is a truly special privilege to be added unto an assembly of local believers gathering in the name of their Lord Jesus.
It is essential to the Christian life and testimony to Continue steadfastly. Believers should not be swayed about in Christian life as a branch is swayed in the wind. It is necessary to be grounded in the truths of the Scriptures and to follow them. A clear heart and a clean testimony will never hinder a Christian from continuing in the Meetings of a local church, fellowshipping in the breaking of bread and in prayers.
