What does Christians do?

Things Every Christian Should Do Every Day:

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Leviticus 11:44–45 NKJV
For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

Christians who follow Christ should live a life that is centered around Him. Christians are called to be disciples and to imitate Jesus in all aspects of their life. It's important for Christians to spend time with the Lord, read His Word, and spread the Gospel message every day. We will discuss things that Christians should do everyday to live a Christ-centered life!
What makes a good Christian?
Christians should spend time with the Lord everyday. In order to have a Christ-centered life, Christians need to be in a close relationship with God. In fact, Christians are called "sons of light who walk as children of light" (Ephesians: Chapter five). That means Christians are supposed to imitate Jesus by spending time alone with God each day. We get our strength for living from him and he is able to guide us when we make decisions throughout the day. When you wake up in the morning, take some quiet time alone with your Bible or spiritual reading materials before starting your daily routine!
How do I get started?
It's simple! All Christians have to do is spend time alone each morning before they start their daily routine reading from the Bible or spiritual materials. You could even set an alarm on your phone for ten minutes every morning, so you don't forget this important step in developing your faith walk! You can use a Christian planner like the Faith Planner to help you track your daily Bible reading, prayer time, and other spiritual activities. Christians should also remember to pray for their family members every day!
What are are things that we as Christians should do every day?
Pray.
1 Thessalonians 3:10 NKJV
night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and perfect what is lacking in your faith?
1 Thessalonians 5:17 NKJV
pray without ceasing,
Christians should pray every day to God for their family, friends, and Christians around the world. Christians can ask God to help them be more like Christ and bring glory to Him through all the difficulties of life.
Read the Bible.
2 Timothy 3:16 NKJV
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
Psalm 119:105 NKJV
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
James 1:23 NKJV
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
Christians should read the Bible everyday. Christians can start their reading in the book of John and then move to another book before starting all over again! Christians are encouraged by God's Word since it brings us closer to Him.
Confess your sins to God.
1 John 1:9 NKJV
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
James 5:16 NKJV
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Christians should confess their sins to God every day. Christians can ask for forgiveness and receive it through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross! Christians will feel a sense of relief after they have confessed their sin to God, knowing that He is faithful and just when He forgives us.
Love others.
James 2:8 NKJV
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well;
1 John 4:19–21 NIV
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
Christians should love others every day. Christians are supposed to imitate Jesus by loving everyone, even their enemies! Christians can show love through being kind and generous or doing things that they know will make other people smile.
Go to Church
Matthew 18:20 NKJV
For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Hebrews 10:24–25 NKJV
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Colossians 3:16 NKJV
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Share your faith.
Revelation 12:11 NKJV
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Philemon 6 NKJV
that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Christians are called to spread the Gospel message and be a witness for Jesus Christ.
Go on mission trips!
Matthew 28:19 NKJV
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 10:32–33 NKJV
“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
Christians should share their faith every day. ! Christians can do this by praying regularly, or talking about God's love with family members and friends.
