Are we Christians

Yesterday in my youth group my pastor brought up a very good point. he believes that most of us are born-again and are going to heaven, but he also believes that most of us born-again believers are not fitting of the Title Christian. By Definition Christian means Christ-like or followers of Christ. Now in Jesus' time, being a follower of Christ meant giving everything you had in this world up and following Jesus and devoting your entire life just so that you could reach that one goal of being just like him. How many of us today have given up everything we own, everything we ever loved in this world just so that we could devote our ENTIRE lives to following and trying to be like Christ? So since I doubt that any of us fit that description how can we go around calling ourselves Christians? Think about it....
