Claim your faith!

The past couple of Wednesday's at my church, my youth minister has intrigued me with a topic of consistency as a christian. The basic concept of what this means is that if you claim this faith called christianity, under the means that you follow Jesus Christ, then you don't have to be perfect, because we all know that's impossible, but you must be consistent in your actions that reflect God. This takes a load of different meanings to me, because understanding the meaning of consistency in the first place can be different in lots of eyes of people. But the meaning that would give the most effect on how we live our christian lifestyles to me is very simple.
As christians the things we do and say that reflect our beliefs and lifestyles, should stand out as different from the rest of the world. The kinds of things you see, and hear, and experience on a every day basis at school, work, etc. should bother you, and make you VERY uncomforable. At the beginning of time, as the first sin was committed in the garden, you were considered a rebel, and different if you were a sinner because before so, humans were made perfect in the eyes of God. These days, especially in the eyes of teens, and young adults, standing out, and being different, and being a rebel is what the majority is all about. They have this concept of showing everyone that they are different in what they consider a good way. What no one understands is that the kinds of things people do in order to try and be a rebel is not what being a rebel is about. As a christian especially, if you are wanting to be a true rebel with your life, then the kinds of things you do that have all kinds of sin involved should really bother you alot, and make you rethink your rebel mindset. Sinning, and things that you do that involve even the littlest sin out there isn't being a rebel any longer, because everyone, myself included does it. If you want to still be a rebel with the mindset of being different, then read your bible, or organize prayer groups, and do things to give back to your community. Being a christian that lives a lifestyle after God is the only rebellion, and difference this world has left. So once you get it implanted that you are one of those people that does want to be different, that does want to stand out, and that is a true rebel, and you live the christian rebellion of God, then living of life a christian consistency after God will become very easy for the world, and it will change the lives of many people, and be such a blessing to world, more than us christians have ever seen. Think about this. Thanks!
