What Do Faithful Christians Do?

1. Faithful Christians practice the "golden rule." "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12

2. Faithful Christians put the Lord and his kingdom (the church) first. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

3. Faithful Christians grow and develop spiritually. "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:" 1 Peter 2:2

4. Faithful Christians attend every service possible. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Hebrews 10:25

5. Faithful Christians look for the second coming of Jesus. "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;" Titus 2:13

6. Faithful Christians pray regularly. "Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

7. Faithful Christians are concerned about their influence. "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" Philippians 2:15

8. Faithful Christians dress modestly and decently. "I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." 1 Timothy 2:8

9. Faithful Christians submit to and support the elders in everything as they lead the church in the path of righteousness. "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." Hebrews 13:17

10. Faithful Christians are concerned about the souls of others and do what they can to get the gospel to them. "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?" Matthew 16:26
