Romans 12;2
"And be not conformed to this world, but be ye"
"Transformed by the renewing of your mind"
When you tell others that you are a Christian; will it change the way they look at you. I would hope so. The reason I say this is that as Christians we should talk, act, and perform different. We are called to stand out. There should be something different about us. If we don't stand out, if there is not something unique or different in our lives, we should re-evaluate ourselves.
We should always strive to do our best for God. Never let others direct your personal life, remember God has a plan made for you already. The cross is laid on every Christian. The first Christ suffering which every man must experience is the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of the encounter with Christ.
As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with his death------we give ourselves over to death (the sin debt is wipe away). Thus it begins; the cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise god-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ.
