However, the Bible teaches that the way we Saying we're Christian and wearing clothes with Christian mes-live and love as we share the gospel is the true identifier of those who follow Jesus. The apostle Paul and the other believers in Corinth were compelled, or driven, to please God by living with an eternal perspective while sharing Him with others (2 CORINTHIANS 5:9-14). When we're committed to living for Christ instead of for our-selves, the Holy Spirit changes our perspective, character, priorities, and ways of interacting with others (VV. 15-17).
