5 Christian Responsibilities For The Year 2020 by Adisba: 9:27pm On Jan 12, 2020
There are certain responsibilities that Christians must undertake to really show that they are people of God. Christians are worshippers of God that belief so much in Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection. They worship God in truth and are followers of Jesus Christ as exemplified by the apostles of old when they were first recognized by people of Antioch as Christians.
Acts 11:26b
So it was that for an entire year they met with the Church and taught
a great many people and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called “Christians”.
The responsibilities of Christians are hereby explained below:

1.
Salt of the Earth

Christians are supposed be salt of the earth that bring sweetness into people’s life by helping people, showing love and care for the less privileged, encouraging the downtrodden and depressed, bringing hope to the hopeless, doing good and helping the helpless. Being salt entails following the example of Jesus Christ that never stop doing good during his sojourn here on earth.
Matthew 5:13.
You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Therefore, if any Christian should lose his or her taste, he or she is no longer good for anything.

2.
Light of the World


God expects every Christian to become light to the whole world. Being a light is by letting people see your good works so that they may be drawn to God. Christian light must shine bright for the world to see and not hidden from them. Christians are supposed to be helping the helpless in the society not take from them.
Matthew 5: 14 - 16.
You are the light of the light of the world. A city built on a hill that cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Good works that Christians must undertake involves charitable activities, preaching the word of God, godly lifestyle, holy and righteous living.

3.
Good Neighborliness


It is the responsibility of every Christian to show good neighborliness as commanded by God to love your neighbor like yourself. It is impossible to show good neighborliness without love because love is exemplified by caring for a neighbor by bringing smile into their faces.
Matthew 22: 39.
‘’You shall love your neighbor as yourself “.
This can be shown by sharing your facilities with your neighbor, providing for need of others in your vicinity, responding to emergency situations, providing succor and palliatives for those in pain or lack as a result of disaster or unforeseen circumstances, reckoning with the downcast, mentorship, sending word of encouragement and motivational messages to neighbor in sorrowful condition or bad situation.


4.
Proclaim the Good News

Jesus Christ mandated all his followers and Christian believers to proclaim the good news to the whole world. Proclaiming the good news entails sharing about Jesus Christ’s love, power, mission to the whole world so that they may not perish.
Mark 16:15 – 16.
And he said to them, ‘’Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned.
It is the responsibility of every Christian to proclaim the message of God by using different medium of communication to reach out to people. 2Timothy 4:2. Proclaim the message: be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke and encourage with the uttermost patience in teaching.

5.
Worship God


Worshipping God is the sole responsibility of all Christian by seeking him all the time. God should be worshipped every day without restraint and special day of worship is Sunday service ordained for gathering of Christians and brethren in the Lord. Moreover, every believer and true Christians worship God every time in Spirit and truth.
John 4:24.
God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Worshipping God is another means of showing godliness in life of a Christian that enjoys special care and protection by God.
2Peter 2:9.
Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of punishment.
