In the modern world, there are many Christian denominations: Catholics and Orthodox Christians, Lutherans and Baptists, Mormons, others. And many do not understand how to be “just” a Christian without identifying themselves with any group of people. Many do not understand: how to find true faith, how to live correctly in Christ, how to choose your own way of serving God.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, understand that you cannot in any way separate Christians from representatives of other religions and confessions, as well as from unbelievers. All religions, by their very nature, teach service to God and spiritual growth. And everyone decides for himself whether to believe in God and what religion to belong to. But this does not mean that a Christian should not preach the word of God. On the contrary, by your personal example and the power of persuasion, strive to increase the number of new believers in Christ.
Step 2
Remember the commandments and rituals taught by the church and the Bible. But do not forget that they are not an end, but a means. The main goal of a Christian is devotion to God. The most zealous followers of rituals, church services and Christian traditions are actually far from the true faith. These are pseudo-Christians, they only pose as believers. But Protestants, for example, have reduced the entire "outer" side of religion to a minimum and consider the word of God and spiritual growth through faith in Christ at the head of the teaching.
Step 3
Do not forget that Christ taught to love your neighbor as yourself, to help others and not to oppress them. It is the society's rejection of these laws that gives rise to all social ulcers, and even crimes. You must seriously approach this problem: to the best of your ability to help all people, and not just relatives and friends. Forget about career aspirations, about enrichment, about external comfort and carnal pleasures. The Christian should be enthusiastic about sacrificial service to all people.
Step 4
Bring your personal and family life in line with the canons of Christianity. Observe the laws of God with diligence and without connivance, teach the Word of God yourself and teach your children. Keep Christian life in every possible way and do not allow yourself to merge with a pernicious environment, do not succumb to its influence
Step 5
Teach the Law of God to children from an early age. Cultivate in them a true religious identity in a strictly Christian spirit. Talk to them at home, send them to Sunday classes in church schools, if available. Keep them from morally unhealthy amusements and immoral amusements.
Step 6
Stand firmly for your faith until the last hour, as in the modern world it will constantly be subjected to secret and overt attacks, oppression and oppression. There is nothing insignificant in the Christian faith - everything has its meaning, its meaning and its value. This means that nothing can be neglected, no compromises or concessions can be made. Every concession leads a Christian to apostasy, and this is the most to be feared.
