CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOR

The original Greek word for Christian is

“Christianos” which comes from the two Greek
words “Christ and tian.” The word Christ means
“anointed” and tian means “little.” So the word
“Christian” literally means “little anointed ones.”

1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

but the LORD said to Samuel,

“do not consider his appearance
or his height, for I have rejected
him. The LORD does not look at
the things people look at. People
look at the outward
appearance, but the LORD looks
at the heart.”

 You can actually be a witness to god through
your health and fitness! Keeping our bodies and
minds healthy and fit are acts of service to god
and a visible testimony in this world.
 Choosing foods that are healthful is a way to honor
God. Adding to that, creating a healthy balance of
movement and rest are vital to good circulation
and muscle strength, which directly affects heart
and brain health.

Getting good sleep at
the end of each day is
highly important, as is
resting at the end of the
week on Sabbath. By
looking after our own
health, we can be useful
to others and shine a
positive light on God’s
character.

OTHERS

 “Walking in love”
means caring for the
interests of others as
well as ourselves 

20XX PITCH DECK 23

By treating others with love and respect, it shows
the world a glimpse of God’s character.

20XX 24
Our actions should attract people into the love of
Christ as they experience Christ-like purity, love,
and unity from His very own followers. Godly
actions that put others interests ahead of our own
can be criticized by people who might misinterpret
unselfish acts as a weakness. Don’t give up though
—this world needs more kind people like you!

20XX 25
 Some people think Christians
should behave better than non-
Christians. While that seems
logical, the only way a
Christian can “level up” to a
higher standard of behavior is
by remaining close to Jesus
and surrendering our lives to
Him. We must remember
that every human being is a
sinner and only God’s presence
in our lives can make us
anything more than what our
fallen nature dictates.
