A Real Christian should be following the footsteps of Christ in everything. Jesus came to this world to give us example on how to live in such a way to please God. " For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them." (JOhn 13:15-17)
A Christian means "A follower of Christ". Notice what the apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:1
"Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."
and Peter: 1 Peter 2:21
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

I am a christian and i believe that Christian's should try to be like Jesus. In the bible when Jesus rose from the dead he told his disciples to go and tell about him. And we are his disciples, we need to tell others about how he died to save us from eternal punishment. I think that Christians don't need to be radical and crazy and be all righteous but we do need to be different. For example the world is ok with sex before marriage and the bible clearly says that sex is only for marriage. Christians should be setting in example for what Jesus is. People can see a different in christian (sometimes bad though) because we have Jesus, who gives us a whole different aspect on life. Christians should never force someone to become a christian because it is a choice and only that. If a person chooses to reject God it is their choice.. no one else's. I hope i helped answer your question. You can contact me if you would like to talk more.

Jesus said Love God and love people.
Since we are human, we always fall short of this. The point is to ask forgiveness and keep trying.
Most of all, though a Christian should be grateful and humble. Grateful of God's grace that we are saved even though we mess up every day and don't deserve it ( That's where the humility comes in).

I feel that us as Christians should be disciples and witness to everyone around the world. Spreading the love of God and sharing our joy with others. Also being good examples and being open to others and trying to help.

To be Christian equals to be like the Christ.
Patient
Loving
Forgiving
Joyful
Faithful
Kind
Generous
We should look for the opportunity to do good, and not strike back at an enemy even when they SO have it coming. It's a good idea to do things like pray for people, share your property (especially extra stuff), care for the sick-(especially family/friends--but even those who aren't).
And on the day to day, I TRY to do things like let somebody over into my lane when they need to make it to an exit off the highway and stuff like that. I call my mom just to say I how I still remember the M&M cookies that she used to bring me from her job when I was a kid.
Be good to others even to great sacrifice--that's who Christ was. Amen? Godbless.

He or she should love him with all their heart mind and soul, love your neighbor as yourself,read your bible and pray every day, thats how you comunicate with him, always repent when we do wrong, it keeps the mind and soul clear, when we see somebody down ,, lift them up, always tell the truth, our comunication ought to be yea and nea, never use foul lanquage, always make so the other person gets the better deal, prefer your brother or sister before yourself, say kind words to each other, if you see somebody in the wrong correct them with corrective love,, if your precious child would be playing on the road , you would want to discipline them to let them know that is dangerous, because you care about them,, thats the same reason we tell other people what the bible says they are doing wrong, its not because we don't love them , we say that because we care about their soul, when we do wrong we are on dangerous grounds, we don't want to see anybody get hurt,, thats the love of God , and he would like to see that in each one of us,, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,, so that, that love can abide in us,,

I like Jeffersonian Christians best, those who admire and follow the moral example of Jesus without believing in all the extraneous supernatural elements: virgin birth, miracles, Son of God, God made flesh, resurrection, etc.

Simple. He/she should love God with all their heart and love everyone else on planet earth just like they love themselves. Wouldn't the world be a much better place if we all did this!

He should live life trying to make G-d smile. Not worry about others opinions as much as the truth.
Love others, gently teach and have passion for unbelievers, never conviction. Practice the Bible, not just quote it.
I also feel G-d says "thanks for loving my only Son."
Blessings,
David

nonjudgemental first and foremost.
Humble, kind, gentle. Showing love for God by loving each other.
How does that song go? "They will know we are Christians by our love".
