Unchristian — Part 1
“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother” (John 3:10).
In a book titled Unchristian, reasons are listed why some non-Christians don’t like people who profess faith in Jesus Christ. Their major complaints have to do with the way some Christians act toward unbelievers. The unbelievers in the study tended to view Christians as being hypocritical, judgmental, harsh and unloving toward people not like themselves.
I’m sure you dislike hearing their view of Christians as much as I do. Sometimes there’s more truth in their perceptions than we wish there was. Paul exhorted the believers at Philippi when he said, “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15).
