Distinct from the World

 We have studied about a Christian denomination specifically the Baptists. Baptists have their distinctions and they could be identified via those. Like baptism, their baptism is not simply sprinkling or pouring but it is immersion “baptizo” in Greek meaning to immerse or submerge. That is just one of their few distinctions.
These distinctions or differences are not just true in denominations but distinctions are also true in us, everyone human being. We hold something that makes us different from each and everyone. Much more to the followers of Christ Jesus. As Christ’ followers, we should be distinguished by others. Let us live a life that is living according to what we are manifesting being a child of God. Christians are identified not only by faithfully attending to the church, but by the way we say words, we do things, we treat others, how we value people, and also by magnifying the Christ we are living for. People around us know Christ Jesus, in fact Mahatma Gandhi an Islamic philosopher like our Christ but not us Christians because he thought of us hypocrites. We are wearing the name of Christ with that we have to live by that name.
Let us show the world that we are different, distinct from them. Yet in spite of being different not despising them but loving them just as the Lord Jesus did for us a long time and ago and even until now. Let us be contagious and make a difference in others’ lives as well.

I am Christ name’s bearer, I claim to be distinct from this world.
