What is the main lifestyle characteristic of a Christian? An outside point of view might yeild a different answer from an inside point of view.
How about these: abundant joy, unshakable love, an abiding peace in times of trouble?
Yes, yes, and yes. But so much depends on context - these things can be hard to see, even when they are there.
The Christian, in whom the Spirit works, will display an increasing level of personal morality. With some inevitable ups and downs, but overall upward in direction.
From the outside, people will be continually surprised at what lengths you go to to help others. From the inside you are daily considering your weaknesses, trusting God for forgiveness of them, and praying for strength to overcome them.
