How does the world recognize Christians if they look normal?
Christians are not recognizable by odd appearance, halos, or wings, but are ordinary parents, citizens, and church members. The world identifies them by their lifestyle and mindset, which operate according to God’s precepts and differ from the unsaved world—a difference that becomes evident everywhere they go, sooner or later.
Les explains that while the world’s intellectuals and philosophers may not know the mind of God, believers have the mind of the Lord and therefore think differently; their whole attitude and mindset is totally different from the unsaved world. Yet becoming a believer does not make a person an oddball, kooky, or someone with a silly halo or wings. The true believer is the common, ordinary, good parent, good citizen, and good church member, operating according to God’s precepts. Outwardly they are the epitome of normality, but their lifestyle is such that the world can recognize them everywhere they go, at least sooner or later.
