How to Stand out As a Christian

Last Updated: January 2, 2023 Approved

Standing out as a Christian means representing God in all that you do. It requires you to infuse your daily life with your faith, put your beliefs into everyday practice and to set a good example to everyone around you.

Steps

1
Pray for help on your journey. From beginning to eventual end, God is with you: ready and willing to support, love and cherish you. Allow Him to work through you and don’t be discouraged when you experience failures.
- “The Lord guides people in the way they should go and protects those who please Him. If they fall, they will not stay down because the Lord will help them up”- Psalms 37: 23, 24
2
Set a good example through your image. What you wear sends a clear message to the people around you about the type of person you are. Make sure that you’re sending the right messages. Avoid clothes that are suggestive, attention-seeking or reputation damaging.
- “Women [and men] should wear proper clothes that show respect and self-control” – 1 Timothy 2:9,10

Represent your God through your actions. It is true that actions speak louder than words. Small actions make a big difference- think about ways to reach out to your community, to the needy, the lonely and the homeless.
- “Love your neighbour as you love yourself”- Matthew 22:39b
4
Never forget the importance of God’s Word. Carry a Bible with you. Scribble your thoughts and feelings down inside, highlight important passages and refer to it often. Find a way to set aside a small amount of time each day to spend with the Bible.
- “Be sure that the book of the Law is always read in your worship. Study it day and night and make sure that you obey everything in it”- Joshua 1:8
