In our postmodern world authenticity is becoming increasingly important. Today's generation has largely rejected the idea of absolute truth, but they are still interested what is real. Do you feel that your life is an authentic or real representation of a Christ-follower? Are you the real deal? What makes us real? Is it Belief? Behavior? Or is it Becoming like Jesus? Is it our character? In the book of Galatians, Paul told the Christians in Galatia that the only way to live out authentic Christianity was to walk in the Spirit and so bear the fruit of the Spirit in their lives. Paul taught that following Christ was more than an outward keeping of the law. Christians are to show forth the character of God. We can allow the Lord to give us these nine marks of authentic Christian character, so that we are like Christ, not just in what we believe, or in what we practice, but in our very nature.
