We spend a whole lot of time encouraging Christians to act, live, and worship as Christians.  And it is appropriate to do so.

It is also appropriate to hear such encouraging and strive to do it.  Ignorance of the Christian life  is not bliss.  It is ignorance of wicked behavior that becomes a blessing.

Learn to love God.  He is love.  As you learn of Him you will find yourself becoming like Him.  Refrain from the folly of “interpretive religion”.  Such things are merely a mimicking of what is a true relationship with the Lord.  Strive to develop your own relationship with the Living God.  Read, pray, act out what you learn, then read, pray and act again; all the while listening to what is pure and good.  Bottom line:  If you call yourself a Christian, do the things that Christians do.
