As Christians we're not meant to be LESS human than other people, BUT
MORE HUMAN, just as
Jesus of Nazareth was more human.
This side of heaven, Christians don’t live perfectly, yet all Christians do
have a perfect standing before God, having received “the righteousness of
God through faith in Jesus Christ” (Romans 3:22). Our position in Christ,
however, does not always match our process of living like Christ. When a
saved saint acts less than saintly, those outside the church cry, “THE
CHURCH IS A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES.”
Certainly, more often than should happen, Christians fail to live up to their
name. We never deny that we are still human and as such can sin like all
the rest of humanity. What makes us different is that we have the presence
of One in us who transforms us desire by desire, attitude by attitude, and
action by action. Through him we become more like Christ in our thoughts,
actions, and lives.
