5. We don’t know what it’s like to not be a Christian.
Speaking from personal experience, I can attest to the fact that I know exactly what’s it’s like to not be a Christian.
The assumption here lies in the disbelief that every Christian was raised in a Christian home and converted at age 3, never looking back or questioning their faith.
The truth is we all have wildly different and varying stories of how and when we met Jesus. Some of us suffered in unhealthy, dysfunctional, even dangerous homes. Some of us were raised as nominal Christians and didn’t make our faith real until later on in life.
Some of us chose to follow Jesus, as adults, after years of searching and struggling. No two testimonies are the same, and many believers have known life before God, not just life with Him.
Your turn. What are some of the lies you have heard about Christians? Have you ever believed any of these lies yourself? What is the biggest misconception about Christians?
