Authentic Christianity (2)

May 18, 2025    David Wood

Being an authentic Christian means doing right when no one is looking. It means telling the truth even when it would be easier not to. It means making things right even when it costs you time, energy, comfort, or popularity. It’s not about one big dramatic moment—it’s about hundreds of daily, unseen choices that reflect a heart genuinely transformed by Christ. “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.” (Luke 16:10) The small choices we make as Christians—to be honest, humble, kind, forgiving—are the very choices that prepare us to make a difference when bigger tests come. Authenticity isn’t a show. It’s a life. A life surrendered daily to Christ—real in public, real in private, real all the way through.
