Making Every Day Matter
Being a Christian is more than attending church or having a Bible — it is a lifestyle choice to live out Christ’s character in how we think, act and make decisions each day. This is a lifestyle of daily devotion to God through His Word and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Being a Christian is not about being perfect, but rather about continuous transformation as you walk with God and seek to be like Christ.
CHRIST First
A Christian lifestyle begins when Christ is placed at the center of your life and everything else revolves around Him. Your priorities, relationships and choices all need to be based on His teachings. Once Christ has become the anchor of your heart, you will begin to express His love and truth through your lifestyle.
Love Others Selflessly
You are called by Christ to love others the same way that He loves you — generously and selflessly. Loving others sacrificially is part of a Christian lifestyle demonstrated through compassion, patience, forgiveness and kindness to everyone including those who are hard to love.
Strengthening Your Spiritual Foundation: Prayer, Worship, the Word, and Purpose
Your lifestyle will be strong and consistent if it is based on a solid spiritual foundation. The foundation of a Christian lifestyle is built upon four pillars: prayer, worship, scripture and purpose. Prayer allows you to stay connected to God and open yourself up to receive His guidance, wisdom and peace. Worship helps shape your attitude and reminds you to honor God not just through song, but also through your lifestyle. Reading the Word of God gives you a solid understanding of truth so that you can discern God’s will and walk in righteousness with confidence. Purpose brings meaning to everything that you do. You are not living randomly, you are living with intentionality and fulfilling God’s plan for your life. When these four disciplines are working together, they give you the strength needed to establish your spiritual identity and build a stronger faith in order to live a lifestyle that reflects Christ in every area.
Sharing Christ Through Your Actions
Evangelism is not just about preaching; it is about living in a way that makes others see Christ in you. How you behave, speak and live demonstrates God’s love in ways that far surpass the things you say.
Growth Through Trials
A Christian lifestyle does not run from challenges; it grows through them. Trials test our faith, create opportunities to develop perseverance and teach us to trust God more deeply. Each challenge presents a new opportunity for spiritual growth.
Reflecting Christ
A Christian lifestyle is a journey of transformation. It is formed by God’s Word, strengthened through spiritual disciplines and expressed through acts of love, compassion and humility. As you choose to live each day with Christ-like character, you will become a beacon of hope in a world that is desperate for it. Your lifestyle will demonstrate not only what you believe, but to whom you belong. And in each decision and action, God will continue to work in you to reveal His purpose, power and endless grace.
