*Evidence of a CARNAL Christian*
The Bible gives us clear signs of what it means to be a carnal Christian—someone who believes in Christ but still lives according to the flesh rather than the Spirit. If you manifest some of the below mentioned, you are a carnal Christian
⸻
1. Spiritual Immaturity
• Scripture: “I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ.” (1 Cor. 3:1)
• Carnal Christians stay stuck on “milk” instead of growing in the Word. They resist deeper spiritual truths.
⸻
2. Division, Strife, and Jealousy
• Scripture: “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal?” (1 Cor. 3:3)
• Fighting, comparing, competing, and gossiping are signs of the flesh at work.
⸻
3. Love for the World
• Scripture: “Do not love the world or anything in the world… If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.” (1 John 2:15)
• Carnal Christians crave worldly pleasures, entertainment, and approval more than God’s presence.
⸻
4. Uncontrolled Desires & Sinful Habits
• Scripture: “The acts of the flesh are obvious: s*xual immorality, impurity, debauchery… selfish ambition, dissensions, factions…” (Gal. 5:19–21)
• Persistent patterns of sin without repentance reveal carnality.
⸻
5. Lukewarm Faith
• Scripture: “Because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” (Rev. 3:16)
• Carnal Christians attend church, maybe pray occasionally, but lack fire, passion, or obedience in their walk.
⸻
6. Lack of Fruit of the Spirit
• Scripture: “By their fruit you will recognize them.” (Matt. 7:16)
• Instead of love, joy, peace, and self-control, their life is marked by anger, fear, bitterness, or indulgence.
⸻
7. Compromise & Hypocrisy
• They confess Jesus with their lips but live like the world in secret. Their testimony doesn’t align with their faith.
⸻
👉 In short: A carnal Christian is saved but not surrendered. They believe in Christ but still live for self.
Please return to God and repent as well !
