Lifestyle of a Christian - Christian message
Lifestyle is the way or the style of living. Peoples are following different lifestyle because of their culture, society, region, wealth and situation.
Life style of a Christian
Life style of christians means, the christians are all over the world and they are living in different nations different culture and different situations. But what is the fact that unites them. They believe in one God and they following one law (bible) and they have one faith but they have different lifestyle. Food, ornaments, dressing style is still a controversy among christians. Then what is the real fact...??
Christians living in the all over the world has living in different culture but have an unique life style. It is the life in the wisdom of God. Christians are following two types of life style.
Physical and spiritual lifestyle.
A christian ( the person following christ) have two kinds of life style, spiritual and physical. We are the people who living in the spirit same time in the flesh. 
Every person is a spirit and he have a life after death. The bible says: no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and spirit ( john 3 : 5). A man he who believe in christ is a new creation, because he born again in the spirit. So a christian should keep his spiritual life better at every time also physical because he is still in the body not separated (transformed ).
Physical lifestyle.
Physical lifestyle is the lifestyle that we are seeing commonly. I want to refer that; old testament is the criteria for our physical lifestyle. God tells us my rules and judgements. This is the rules that God given to his child. There is 613 commandments in the bible in the Exodus to Deuteronomy.
Spiritual lifestyle.
Spiritually we need to keep an lifestyle for our spiritual growth and goodness. This is Jesus teaches us. This is the lifestyle Jesus shows through his life. This is the lifestyle apostles taught the churches.
What about your spiritual life?
What is the difference between spiritual and physical lifestyle.
Difference between spiritual and physical lifestyle.
Old testament is the criteria for our physical life style and new testament for spiritual. Some example I'm showing below;
1. Circumcision.
In the old testament God told to abraham every male among you shall be circumcised ( Genesis 17 :10 )
But the new testament tells about circumcision of heart.
Romans 2:29 - circumcision is circumcision of heart, by the spirit.
2. Adultery
In the old testament said You shall not commit adultery ( Exodus 20:14)
In new testament; anyone who looks at a women lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Mathew 5 : 28)
3. Murder
The old testament says "you shall not murder (Exodus 20 : 13). In the new testament;
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment (Mathew 5 : 21)
These are the few example and you can find more in bible. Here we can find the Physical lifestyle and spiritual lifestyle. In the new testament how much we need to careful about spiritual life.
Give more importance to spiritual lifestyle.
At the time Jesus went through the cornfields on the sabbath his disciples were hungry and began to pick some ears of corn and eat them. Then Pharisees turn to Jesus and told that your disciples doing unlawful.
Jesus said the son of man is the Lord of Sabbath. (Mathew 12:1)
Here we can see give importance to Jesus more than law. As same Give importance to spiritual more than physical.
