Let love it do not pretend! (Romans 12: 9)

Imaging. A word that over the last few years is familiar in our country, especially in the political sphere. Imaging is actually the process of building a self-conscious image. However, people tend to take it negatively: doing something different from the original in order to get sympathy. Or, in other words: pretending.
Conscious or not, Christian was accustomed to pretend. Do not believe? Try to remember how often we think like this: "I am a Christian, then I have to ..." And, in fact we are not accustomed to act like it. We do this so that people "know" we are Christians. Is not that tantamount to imaging? This situation is getting worse with the number of teaching which states, "As Christians, we should ..." This teaching makes us feel not become Christians if we do not take action "Christian" certain.
Indeed, Christian action is not something made up. Yes, we could do Christian acts because they feel it is our duty as Christians, but whether it will have an impact? Is not that tantamount to the performer, who plays a particular role based on the demands of the story? Let us stop being Christian imagery. Instead, let us act as a natural born fruit communion with God. He is the Vine, which will drain the sap of His life through us, twigs God

CHRISTIAN ACTION IS NOT TO MEET OBLIGATIONS cultivated, BUT NATURALLY BORN OF FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
