Proverbs 23:26 "My son, give Me your heart, and let your eyes keep to My ways."
Big John was asked recently by some friends if he was a Christian. He was stunned to learn that they didn't know. Did he not reflect the Christian walk by his attitude, actions and words? He thought he did.
A Christian, by definition, is one who professes in, and by his/her actions and words, represents the teachings of Jesus Christ. Nobody is perfect and we all slip from time to time. "For all men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). However, as they say, the "meat of the coconut" is what's in a person's heart. "I, the Lord, alone probe the mind and test the heart." (Jeremiah 17:10).
You can't be a part time Christian or a private Christian. It has to be "all in" 24/7. "Whoever acknowledges Me before men I will acknowledge before My Father in Heaven." (Matthew 10:32).
Do the people who know you have to ask if you are a Christian?
