Being a Christian means that you have chosen to follow Christ Jesus and have accepted His free gift of salvation. We, as Christians, are called to live a life pleasing to Him. Why don't we? Because we are works in progress. We're not perfect, just forgiven! Being forgiven doesn't grant us license to do wrong, but we are human and fail often. Thankfully, the Lord is faithful to forgive us and help us when we fall.

The easiest way I could explain this is simply:
Going to Church does not make you a Christian anymore than sitting in your garage will make you into a car...
With that said, we go to Church bc we want a meeting with God himself...there are hypocrites in everything from politics to parenting...do not alloy yourself to become sidetracked by the actions of others.

Its sad to see christians going on like atheists and pagans. But we christians all believe Jesus is coming, and each one of us will have to give an acount on what he said and did in his life time

That means to tell them to be followers of Christ, some people are hiprocrites because they claim to be CHristian when they arent really, they need to be a light in the midle of darkness, someone that you see a difference in that anyone else. like peter said "Be imitaders of me like I am of Christ" God bless

A Christian is not perfect but forgiven. When we sin we know that, and we know who and how to ask for forgiveness, those that reject Christ don't.

We are all hypocrits. We are not perfect. If we were perfect, we would not need God.
