If Christians Would Be Christ-like

If christians would only be christ-like, then the world would see the truth of the gospel. That's just the problem, though, isn't it. Far too few christians are christ-like, few display evidence in their lives of the radical transformation and renewal that the gospel promises. The average christian is, at best, average. The world is still waiting for christians to display the evidence of the gospel in their lives - waiting for christians to love one another, to love their enemies, to trust in god, to exhibit the famous fruit of salvation. And the world still waits. Of course, there are those few that really demonstrate a deep love and, can I say, holiness. Those are, sadly, too few, and no more than what can be found in other communities of different faiths. There are deeply loving buddhists, hindus, Muslims, mormons, wiccans, and even atheists - how can so few exemplary christians constitute evidence in favor of the gospel? Jesus himself said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Joh 13:34-35
I would wish, and had cherished the hope for years, that christianity would prove true. However, it is sadly as Gandhi explained - "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
