Every when are we “CHRISTIANS”?

We became Christians when we were baptized in Jesus’ name, but this is my question: Every when are we Christians? I ask this because there are those kind of people who are only Christians when they go to Sunday services on their church. There are also those who are Christians only by label and don’t even go to Sunday services, Christians who are still living by the standards of the world. There are also those Christians who are only happy when they hear the Word, but after that, they still keep on worrying about the world outside. Also exists are Christians who remain stagnant. These are the people who already know God’s purpose for them but they still don’t take it seriously. They are the type Christians who are not doing any bad things, but also are not doing anything good. Static, that is. So, is this what it’s like in being a Christian? Do you think we are ready for the second coming of Christ if we still remain like this?

Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

-Mark 13:33, NIV

Jesus already warned us and He wants us to be alert. We don’t know the time of His second coming, and we should stay on guard if we don’t want to be left out. Yes, maybe we are already Christians, but it’s possible that we are only Christians by label. Now ask yourself this question: Am I really ready? I think we need to step up to the next level. We must make sure that we are always on guard before He comes. We must watch our actions very carefully and grow more into the real Christian living. We must make it a lifestyle to live by His will because no one that exists on the earth knows the exact time of His second coming. But I know you can feel it, and you know that the time is near. So let’s always be on our guard, because if we don’t, we might regret it in the end.

If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

-Mark 13:36-37, NIV

We should not become stagnant Christians, we must bear our fruits! We must continue to move in Christ’s ways and spread the gospel so that we would grow spiritually. It is our job to do so as long as we are breathing so that we can face the Lord without any doubt when He comes. We must not be caught sleeping at the time of His second coming!
