Message

I IDENTIFY AS...
...As a Christian and a Disciple

Introduction: There are two statements that relate to our identity:
- Who you Are identifies What you Do
- What you Do identifies Who you Are

What is a Christian? (Acts 11:25-26)
“Christian” means “Little Christ” or “Little Anointed One”

Two Types of Christians:

Culture Christian: A Religious person who adopts Christian values when convenient, but DOES NOT demonstrate a life of Repentance and Faith that identifies an Authentic Relationship with Jesus
 - Result: A Fake Religion & an Ordinary Life that ends with Eternal Punishment

Committed Christian: A Disciple of Jesus
 - Result: A Real Relationship & an Extraordinary Life that ends with Eternal Reward

What is a Disciple? (Matthew 16:24-27)
A Disciple of Jesus…
 - Denies what Jesus Denied- Self (Philippians 2:5-8)
 - Gives what Jesus Gave- Everything (Luke 14:25-33)
 - Does what Jesus Did- Obedience (John 8:31-32)
 - Loves like Jesus Loved- One Another (John 13:34-35)

Application: Are you a Disciple of Jesus or are you just a Culture Christian? The difference is found not in simply Who you Say you are, but also in What you Do.
