Apples grow on apple trees, oranges on orange trees. If we say we are an apple but look like an orange, we may fool ourselves but others know that we are an orange. Of course no one goes about saying he is an apple or an orange, but it gets serious if I proclaim my Christianity but my fruit does not bear this out.
Christians look a certain way.
They do certain things. They speak only the truth They repent quickly when they don't measure up. They are willing do die for another None us are perfect in our behavior, but we are allowing God to change and transform us daily. People who have the eyes to see can tell we are followers of Christ.
