What does it mean to be a Christian?



Romans 2:21-24
New King James Version (NKJV)

21 You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law? 24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,”[a] as it is written.

Make them wail,”[a] says the Lord,
“And My name is blasphemed continually every day.
