How do people know that we are Christians ? Is there a way to be able to tell whether or not someone is Christian. If you were to try to determine who is a Christ follower and who is not, what types of things could we look at to make that judgement and I am not saying that making that judgement is the right thing to do or is appropriate. Without knowing what is in the heart or what promises one has made to the Lord it could be very difficult. We could look at the way someone dresses to determine what the state of their faith is but the reality is that I am not sure there is a difference in the way a Christian dresses and the way a non Christian would dress.

Certainly, people who are part of the clergy may wear a white collar to indicate they are a pastor or a priest. Christ followers or Christians may choose to wear as a way to communicate the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ or they may wear them to stand out or differentiate themselves from everyone else. Perhaps wearing Christian apparel is a way to start a dialogue with someone who is searching for the truth about life or Christianity.

Can we look at ones behavior to determine who may be a Christian or Christ follower ? I am not sure this is the answer. There have been many studies that show that those who are believers in Jesus as Christ do not behave a lot differently than those who do not. Christ followers or Christians may attend church more often but other than that , there really is no difference in behavior between Christians and non Christians. I know many people who are very good people who have not professed a faith in Jesus Christ but are very good people are good parents and do a lot of good for charity and the community.

Is it possible to take a look at those who go to church to make a determination as to whether or not they are a Christian. I am not sure this is the answer either. I for one attended churches for years before becoming a Christian. I have known Pastors who would tell you that they pastored churches before becoming Christians. The reality is that there is no way to look into a persons soul to know where they stand. There are people who would tell you they are Christian but in reality have never surrendered their life to God. If there was a tattoo or secret handshake, it would make things a lot easier. I for one will continue to wearChristian Tee Shirts as an outward sign of my faith.
