What Does It Actually Mean to Be a Christian? | Christ For You James 1:22–27 | Easter 6 What does it actually mean to be a Christian? Is it going to church? Holding the right doctrine? Being a good person? Everyone has an answer. And almost every answer, on its own, is completely wrong. Because James doesn’t start with what you do. He starts with whether you’re actually listening. What does it look like to hear the Word of God and walk away completely unchanged? How is it possible to sit through a sermon, say Amen, drive home — and have nothing change? And what does it mean to truly lay hold of a promise — to hear the Word and say, this is mine now? Why does James say that favoring the rich man over the poor man isn’t just rude — it’s worthless religion? Why does he hold up the widow and the orphan as the measuring stick for true Christianity — the two people who can do absolutely nothing for you? What does a mother’s love reveal about the love of God? And what does it mean that you were the orphan, the widow, the one with nothing to offer — who was given everything anyway? And what happens on your last day, when the doing is finally over, and the only thing left is what has been done for you?
