Real Christianity...What is it?

Or maybe we should ask, A Real Christian.....Who is one? 'Cause Real Christianity really comes down to the person of Jesus Christ Himself and the life He lived. "Truth is that which is faithful to the original" (yes, for those of you paying attention, there will be a quiz later). So, a truly Christ-like person is one who faithfully follows the example of Christ, because He lived the original lifestyle that He desires for us to also live. That lifestyle is called "Life more abundantly". How do you get it? You get it by giving. "What do you mean getting from giving"? I mean to receive life you must die.

Jesus said in
Jhn 12:24 ,"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Jhn 12:25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Jhn 12:26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour."

The Life Jesus lived on earth wasn't about Him, although He was "God in Human Flesh". Every breathe, every word, every thought, every tear, everything He did was about touching someone else. It was about giving His life in hope of changing another life. Now that is Real Christianity. That is why our Savior is so awesome! He got up off the throne, and humbled Himself for us!! (Phil. 2).

You want the victory over the world and sin? Quit living for yourself. Start living like Jesus and become a servant to others and you might be surprised at how awesome it'll make you feel. You know why? 'Cause Jesus said "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do" (John 14:12). Amen!
