How to Be a Faithful Christian

Postby cheryz » Tue Nov 26, 2013 5:06 am

God is amazing, and sometimes we might feel like we don't give him enough.

Read Your Bible. You should read your Bible twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. If you focus just on God for 5-10 minutes, it really helps. Try to find time to read a verse or two from the Bible, and concentrate on what God is saying in the those verses.

Pray to God. Pray to him when you feel happy, sad, angry, scared, or just bored. Tell him your feelings and don't hold back on it. Not only are you strengthening your relationship with God, but it also really makes you feel better when you have someone to talk to.

What Would Jesus Do? If you have a conflict, even if it is something as simple as, "I wonder if I should eat this last slice of cake?" You should ask yourself if what Jesus would do in this conflict. So, Jesus would probably not take that last slice of cake, but let someone else have it.

Avoid temptation. A lot of times in our lives, we are tempted to do things we know we shouldn't do. Even though it's hard, the best thing to do is avoid it. Just walk away if the temptation is hard, and if it just keeps coming, pray to God to help lift your temptation, and find something to distract yourself. If someone is peer pressuring you to do something that isn't right, you should just tell them to stop, and walk away from it.

Go to church. It doesn't matter what type of Christian you are. There is a church out there for you. Attend any services you can, and make sure you take notes on the sermon. Also, attending a Sunday School helps, too. Most churches have Sunday Schools for adults and kids.

some tips:

Sometimes, one of the greatest temptations is wandering away from God. Don't worry, though. If you ever find that happening, just pray to God and fight the temptation!
You can find books specially created for devotion. You can read a chapter a day, and follow any instructions the book has to give.
Regular confession is a great practice.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:7-9).

Faithfulness is a requirement for every Christian. We must be devoted and firmly hold to the teachings of the Bible, and live true to its commands. As God is faithful, He expects us to likewise be faithful. Yet always doing right in God’s sight is not easy. But remember, God knows if we are faithful or not, and He will reward or punish us according to our life.

We face many temptations today which will draw us away from God, unless we are strong and careful. Jesus warns us not to be like those who allow tribulations, persecutions, cares of this world, or riches to choke out God's word and entice them away from God (Matthew 13:1-23). Bearing up under such pressures is difficult. We must always be on guard, and we must always be growing to become even stronger in our faith. :)
