Going to church, working in a church, fasting, and praying can all be mere religious activities if you don’t reflect Christ in your daily life. (There is a difference between being called a Christian and actually being a Christian.)
The way to really know if you have Christ in you is through the changes that have happened in your life since you became born again.
Some people pray for hours, yet they lie habitually. Some even work miracles, yet they have unforgiveness in their hearts. Activities, such as praying, fasting, evangelizing, and so on are important means to an end and not the end in themselves.
If you want to truly be like Christ, soak yourself in the word of God by studying your Bible diligently (Psalm 119:11). Sanctification comes by the word (John 17:17), we are cleansed by the word (Ephesians 5:26).
“Beloved, you must allow God’s word to dwell richly in you in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16) so that you will not just be a religious fellow but a Christian indeed.”
MEMORISE: “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” – James 1:25
