What am I meant to say to someone who claims to be a Christian, plays instruments in the church on Sundays, but other days are making world music and attending shows to perform the worldly music? What am I meant to ay to the church members that encourages the “so-called Christians” to make worldly music, since everyone makes it in those genre of music nowadays? You will probably make it, but are you a Christian?

Early Christians did not pay around with the faith in Christ. Don’t tell John the Baptist “don’t judge me, I am a Christian that gets drunk”. Don’t tell Saint Stephen “I am a Christian that aspires to be like Kim Kardashian”. Don’t tell Simon Peter “I am a Christian that sleeps around outside marriage”. Don’t tell Apostle Paul “I am a Christian, but wears clothes to entice the opposite sex”. Don’t tell these people who died for the faith all these things. These people died being Christ-like. They adhere to the life and teachings of Christ without hesitating a second.

Well, you might say ‘I love Jesus no matter what and time has changed’. Time changed. My friend, but Jesus Christ did not. Do we truly love Jesus?

What are these commandments? Adhering to the entire Bible and letting it guide your life is following Jesus Christ’s commandments. (Mark 8: 34-38: And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.)

Few of God’s commandments. How many of us truly love God? We cherry pick what we want to follow, only what we want to hear or feel from. We only want those easy things. We only want God’s blessings. How can Christ die for our sins, claim to love Him, and still hold on to everything that He says we should let go. No one is perfect here, but you can’t claim to be a Christian and live in all what God hates . God is love. Yes, He is love, but God is also Holy, so He hates unholy things.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
