What Does It Mean to Be a Christian? | Dr. Kevin R. Johnson

In this powerful sermon from the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, we explore what it TRULY means to follow Christ in 2025. Drawing from Matthew 25:31-40, this message challenges modern Christianity to return to its roots of compassion, love, and justice.

🔥 THREE KEY POINTS:

1. A Christian Is Concerned About the Least of These
Real Christianity has always been about caring for the hungry, homeless, imprisoned, sick, and marginalized. Jesus identified with "the least of these" - and so should we.

2. A Christian Loves Everybody
Jesus said "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." True Christian love is unconditional, inclusive, sacrificial, and universal - not selective or exclusive.

3. A Christian Wants the Best for Everybody
Christianity isn't about "us vs. them" - it's about God's kingdom where there's enough for everyone. We're called to work for justice, equality, and the flourishing of ALL people.

This sermon confronts the "great distortion" of modern Christianity and calls believers back to the radical love and justice that Jesus embodied. It's time to reclaim what it means to be a true follower of Christ!
