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.
