“CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIOR ”

Being a Christian is a vocation, a deep and personal calling to be a special kind of person

with a unique mission and objective in life. Like Abraham and the disciples of Jesus, the

Christian hears the call as an imperative. For example, Abraham left his father‘s home, family,

and heritage to go to a land where he could live as God‘s friend (Gen. 12:1–3). The disciples left

their fishing, and forsaking all, followed Jesus of Nazareth, moved by the inner conviction of a

divine call to a better life (Mark 1:16–29). God’s followers have something to do in their life.

We have our own lifestyle and behaivour. They are based on creation, revelation, and

redemption.

The Bible affirms that in the realm of God‘s creation, human beings belong to a unique

category of creatures. It means that God makes clear that He created humans in His own image

(Gen. 1:26, 27). He gave them the unique privilege of sharing in their limited, creaturely way

some of His divine attributes. God is being Himself. His name is I AM (Ex. 3:14). His existence

is unborrowed and undetermined, and He consciously and sovereignly holds the universe in His

hands.

In the beginning was the Word (John 1:1). This God’s word was not just a word of

communication or information, as human words are. Yet, the Word that broke through the long

eons of silence and darkness was the living Word, actively creating and communicating. The

powerful Words that has amazing works toward the God’s creation. The Christian lifestyle can

have no source other than the Bible. Christian morality and Christian ethics, which are translated

into Christian behavior, must be based on that same Word.


We are Christian should act like Christ. Confession and profession of faith must translate

into appropriate behavior, as Jesus showed in His parable of the two builders (Matt. 7:24–27). It

means that we should show God’s love through our actions. Moreover, we have 4 dimension of

Chrstian’s life. They are spiritual, physical, social, and personal dimensions of life The first

aspect of Christian lifestyle is its strong spiritual dimension, the relationship with God (Ex. 20:1–

11). Second, God as the Creator and Saviour of the whole human being, calls everyone to seek

the highest standards of health. Humans are by nature relational beings. The third,The Creator

said, It is not good that the man should be alone‖ (Gen. 2:18). The immediate establishment of

marriage (verses 18–25), daily communion with God (Gen. 3:8, 9), the institution of the family,

and the emphasis on the second table of the decalogue point to the importance of sound relations

in the Christian lifestyle. Personal dimension means our responsibility to take care ourself. This

means that we need to pay attention to our appearance especially in our clothes, recreation, and

the ability to make right. Christian lifestyle should become a part of our life as Jesus followers.

The Reflection

The lesson that i get from this lesson is as Christian i should spread our love by the

actions. Patient, love, and respect should be a part of my life. Human is made in His image which

should be channel of blessing to others. So, it is my responsibility to have good Christian’s life.

Actually, it is not easy to do but through the God’s help, i believe that i can do it. This topic

supports me to be a better teacher. It reminds me to be wise teacher. I wish i can be good model

for my students based on my social, spiritual, physical and personal life. My commitment is w

will do it not only in school but in my aspects of life such as in using social media, and also

paticipating in church as an active member of the church.
