Often I talk to people who believe they are christians who have no idea even what the bible teaches about christianity! In fact, I believe that most people who call themselves "christian" are less christian than many who would claim to be unreligious.
Christian means "little Christ". It implies a devotion to knowing, loving and following Jesus. It is a real set of doctrines, beliefs and practices. It is rooted in a book revealed and inspired by God…the bible. It is a difficult lifestyle to live.
Yet most "christians" have no clue! It is something they call themselves. It is like being an American or an Iowan, but not something they want to be primarily identified with.
I believe Paul would challenge today's "christian" to test themselves!
