FAITH CAPSULE: What does it mean to be a Christian?

Acts 11

What makes a man be a CHRISTIAN is not just by attending a gathering in the name of a church or by quoting the word of God, but living life as CHRIST LIKE.
Are you a CHRISTIAN searching self to gain the understanding to know God?
So many answers as Christian but not live life as Christian because they have no understanding and LACK KNOWLEDGE!
Are you answering as CHRISTIAN?
Do you have an understanding of what it means to be a CHRISTIAN?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A CHRISTIAN (CHRIST LIKE)?
With the persecution, the followers of Jesus Christ scatteredas far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the Lord Jesus. At Antioch, they were called Christians, meaning Christ-like.  Acts 11:26 records, “…And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
Living life as a disciple, a follower of Jesus’ ways of life is what identifies a believer as Christian (Christ-like) but many answers as Christian and not live life as a Christian.
A Christian should live life, searching self, to seek God to follow the word of God as His disciple. 
Do you search yourself as David testifies in Psalm 139:23, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
SEARCH YOUR SELF continually, to seek GOD diligently as a Christian.
Search yourself in the word of God as like looking into a mirror to be addressing self, living life as Christ-like.
Among reasons to SEARCH SELF continually, to seek God, to gain understanding and know God is not to be lost in the TIME one is living.  Ecclesiastes 9:12 WARNS all, “For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time when it falls suddenly upon them.”
What you do not SEARCH (SEEK) to gain UNDERSTAND or to know about will not be found.
God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
Do you search to know why you are not with KNOWLEDGE?
Lack of knowledge is evidence of no understanding.
Without understanding how can there be knowledge, not to become a victim of destruction?
God is mindful of all about the issue of no understanding as word records, “God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.” (Psalm 53:2)
Isaiah 56:11 also points out the reason for no understanding stating, “Yes, they are greedy dogs Which never have enough. And they are shepherds Who cannot understand; They all look to their own way, Every one for his own gain, From his own territory.”
Search yourself to be a Christian (Christ-like).
Search yourself continually, gain understanding to know God.
Live life not to become a victim of the wicked ones or not to be a wicked one, but to be led in the way of everlasting.

Prayer for today: Ask God to provoke you that you will continually search your heart.
