Message
A Christian is peculiar because he is chosen out of the wild world, transformed and made a new creature. To be a child of God in the true sense of it is something to be proud of. Never go about like a chicken taken out of water. Display God’s majesty by living a glorious life. Christianity is delightsome. Oswald Smith wrote:
I’ll tell the world that I’m a Christian
I’m not ashamed His name to bear
I’ll tell the world that I’m a Christian
I’ll take Him with me everywhere
I’ll tell the world how Jesus saved me
And how He gave me a life brand new …
Christians are separated from the world and consecrated to the Lord. Nonconformity to the world in lifestyle is our watchword. We must desist from anything debasing or degrading. Let there be an open avowal of your Christianity. Failure to identify with Christ will lead to rejection by the Lord. If you deny Him on earth you will not enjoy Him in heaven. Always declare your identity. Never be ashamed of being a Christian.
