“LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. ” (Ps 15:1-5)
Is there any physical evidence that we should see in a Christian? In other words, should people be able to see that you are a Christian without asking you? These questions kept me thinking about this subject for quite a while. I looked at various people, including some highly esteemed and many self–proclaimed Christians, but did not see something that differentiated them from non-Christians. The Bible confirms in Malachi that you should be able to: “Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.” (Mal 3:18)
