What Kind of Christian Are You?

I ask this question because I see people that call themselves a Christian. Although their attitudes and personalities are far from being Christ like.

I have listed below a few of these different types of Christians:

1. Let’s say you are out and about and see a person asking for a little help. Are you the kind of Christian that sees this person in need, but you get real busy as not to see them. You know, pretend to talk on your phone as you pass and not pay them any attention. You don’t see them, you don’t hear them, it’s like they don’t exist to you.
2. There’s a person in need and you see what is going on, but you don’t want to be around them. You don’t want to get involved, because if you get too close they might ask you to do something. So, you don’t do anything to help because it is not your problem. You’re a Christian but you have problems of your own.
3. What about the kind of Christian that does just enough to say I did something. It may not even be enough or it may not even be what they need. But you did it for the wrong reason and just for the brownie points. To make yourself look good and to say at least you did something, you tried.
4. Then you have the Christian that stops to find out what their story is? Take a minute to pray with them and find out if they know Jesus. To find out if there is something they can do, or is there a way they can help. Buying them a hot meal, giving them a few dollars or even offering to get them a room for the night and a hot shower.

I would like to suggest a short reading for you. The next time you are reading your Bible. Read the Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. A very good story.

Always remember, don’t ever look down at someone unless you are looking and reaching down to help lift them up. That should be the only time you look down at anyone. So, I will ask you again, what kind of Christian are you? God Bless 🙂
