Dare To Be Different

Why Christians Are Different?

The Cross of Jesus Christ is more than the way to God... it is the way to abide with God just like Jesus (John 12:24,26). The apostle Paul said: I am crucified WITH Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20). The reality of the Cross of Christ is what defines our life's as believers and characterizes us as belonging to God (Acts 1:8)

To carry the Cross is to bear God's testimony that He alone absorbed the total cost of redemption (John 3;16). Thus, God will always abide faithful to identifying us as His very own. As Christians, it is not our business to determine if we are of any use for God... but to abide in the truth that we are not our own (1 Corinthians 6:19,20). Being used for God will never trump being used to God. The Cross of Christ is why Christians are different in an indifferent world.
