This may offend some people but it’s true… just because you have a Bible verse in your bio, or a hashtag in your posts, or maybe you’re wearing a cross chain around your neck DOESN’T mean you are a follower of Christ. See, the problem is that we have too many people in this world living like the world, yet, calling themselves “Christians” but not many of them are followers of Jesus. See, anyone can be a Christian nowadays.. Everyone loves to claim that title, but how many of us can look ourselves in the mirror and say that we are actually followers of Jesus? That we are His disciples? That we actually follow what His word says, we actually love people, we actually spend time with God. Everyone wants to quote “God is good” but how many of us actually know how good He really is? How many of us actually have a true relationship with Him behind closed doors? Behind the posts and the tweets? If I were to guess…. Not many. I believe there are many people in this world who like the word “Christian” but they don’t like what comes with it. They don’t like the sacrifice, the hardships, the forgiveness, the submission, dying to yourself and your desires every day. See, true Christianity is not just quoting you’re a Christian, but it’s more of living out your faith daily. If I’m being real… if you willingly want to live a rogue lifestyle and not adhere to the teachings of Jesus… then stop calling yourself a believer in Jesus… don’t tell me you love Jesus, yet, this is the way you want to live…

“Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:23‬ ‭NIV‬‬
