Three Signs You Are a Fake Christian

Introduction

  • Lecture focuses on identifying signs of being a potentially fake Christian.
  • Emphasis on the importance of being a true follower of Jesus.

Sign #1: People Around You Do Not Know You Are a Christian

  • If colleagues, friends, or peers are unaware of your Christian identity, it's a major red flag.
    • Jesus' sacrifice was public; thus, our faith should also be publicly acknowledged.
  • A true Christian will share their faith boldly and live it openly.
  • Reflect Jesus in character, actions, and interactions.
  • Jesus said to be the light of the world and salt of the earth, indicating visibility in faith.

Sign #2: Your Secret Life is Not Centered Around God

  • The secret life is more significant than the public life; it reveals true character.
    • Reflect on personal habits when alone; are they godly or sinful?
  • The speaker reflects on a past secret life filled with distractions and sins.
  • A healthy secret life should involve prayer, Bible study, and seeking God.
  • Everything done in secret affects the public persona; sinful habits lead to shame and guilt.
  • True Christians will seek God in their private moments, leading to a transformed public life.

Sign #3: Social Media Presence Lacks Godly Focus

  • What you share online reflects your priorities and beliefs.
  • If social media is self-centered and not uplifting God, it indicates a heart issue.
  • Use social media as a platform to spread the gospel and inspire others.
  • Everything done should glorify God, including online presence.

Conclusion

  • To be a real Christian:
    1. Spend time with Jesus in the secret place - prioritize a deep relationship with God.
    2. Share your faith publicly - express love and kindness, acting as Jesus would.
    3. Glorify God on social media - use platforms for ministry and outreach.
