How l May Show That l Am a Christian

How / May Show That I Am a Christian.
Let your light so shine before men
that they may 10 your good works
and glorify your Father which Is in
heaven.-MATTHEw v:XvI.
1 By cOnfessing my faith. I became
a Christian by believing and trusting
in Christ. Confession Of our faith is
one of the first duties that is laid upon
us. That confession is to be made in
many ways. 1t is to be made by re-
ceiving baptism, by uniting with the
church, by speaking in religious meet
ings, by acknowledging in private our
faith. A Christian experience that does
not go as far as this is defective.
2 By religious WOrk. If we are dis
ciples of Christ, then we must be imi
tators of Him. He spent His time in
helping others. We must do the same;
we must be unselfsh; we must carry
the Gospel to the degraded, and help
those who are in distress.
8 By holy character. If we have a
genuine Christian experience it will
make itself known by the influence
which we shed about us. The
lamp is known by the light which it
sheds. The Christian is a light to all
about him. Our Christian life will be
revealed in our words, tones of voice,
looks, pursuits, habits, and pleasures.
Let u greatest concern be to have the
light within US. The shining will take
care of itself.
