If Strait Is the Gate and Narrow Is the Way, Then What Path Are You on to Jesus?

While being in and around, even out of this county, I’ve come to recognize different types of people who claim to be Christian. Through all that I encountered, I’ve come up with 10 types of so called Christians that exist in the world today.

10 Types of So Called Christians
  1. The New Believer: Whenever they hear someone talking about Jesus, they believe every word at face value and have no discernment. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3
  2. The Zealous Christian: They believe they can save the whole world. Romans 10:1-3
  3. Pew Warmer Christian: They come to church, they aren’t involved with anything. The only time they read their Bible is when they are attending Church and the speaker says to turn to a passage of scripture.
  4. The Clone Christian: They talk, act like and otherwise mimic the way a Christian would behave. Proverbs 3:1-6
  5. The Bible Talking Christian: They’re always quoting scriptures to use a anchors for their own philosophies.
  6. The Angry Christian: They’re mad with the world and other Christians
  7. The Sanctimonious Christian: They believe they know Jesus more then anyone.
  8. The “Woe is me” Christian: They’re always depressed, complaining, and unhappy.
  9. The Arrogant Christian: They are always right and they belittle every one.
  10. The Walking Dead Christian: They don’t even know their dead. They have no power, no anointing, no prayer life no direction from Jesus, and can’t hear his voice, because it’s all about then and not Jesus. Luke 6:43-45, Proverbs 14:12

Most people who declare themselves to be a Christian don’t even know what being a Christian is or even what being a Christian means. A lot of people, mimic people they think that are Christian, so as not to be left out by their peers.

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Matthew 16:24-28

You must know there can be no eternal life without your sacrifice. As a true Christian you must deny yourself and your self-will and the controls of this life, whether by people or this worlds philosophy. Take up your cross and follow Jesus.

In my conclusion, I’ll give you this: how can you rise with Him if you were not buried with him? If you were buried with him, how can you be friends with this world and entangled with this worldly life?

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy Chapter 2

So why pretend to be a Christian or Child of God, when you can be the real thing? So if your life is in a sate of confusion, that means you need to seek Jesus now while he may be found an be buried with him so you can go back with him. In other word be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Then shall you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost Acts 2:37-39.
