The Identity of a Christian: How a Follower of Lord Jesus Christ should live.

The population statistics show that the total number of Christians in the world is more than two billion. But it is for the individual to examine really how many are trying to live this short life on this planet, adhering to the teachings of the Divine Master. If at least 10 percent of the Christians lead a Christian life, seeing their exemplary lifestyle others (non-Christians & atheists) will be attracted towards Christianity and the Lord will be Glorified greatly. 

We know 2000 years ago the first Christian Population was just less than 100. That least number lived like CHRISTIANS and people from all walks of life started joining them to live a simple life even willing to face hardships in Love and Unity! 

It is quite unfortunate to see that many Christians bearing the holy names of Saints, Maryers, Prophets, and Angels are leading a mere materialistic and fully worldly life, doing all sorts of shameful activities that the pagans do for amassing huge wealth and thus bring disgrace to the ONE Who redeemed them shedding even the last drop of HIS Precious Blood. 

The greatest tragedy of this era is that even many Priests, Religious and Pastors who proclaim the Gospel and Preach about the Divine salvation are under the clutches of greed for money which is the most powerful weapon of satan to destroy even the Chosen Ones.
