My Answer By Billy Graham I would like to know what you mean by You say average traverage Christian reads the Bible only five minutes a week. Do you feel that the average Christian is saved? L. M. W. Too many of us are SO involved in the numerous activities of the chirch-membership drives, financial drives, building programs, and church, promotion, that we often lost sight of the real meaning of being a Christian.

Oddly, none of the above (though all are important) have anything to do with being a Christian. A Christian, in the New Testament sense, is a person who has committed himself to Christ so completely, that everything else becomes secondary. Christ is a living Lord; the Bible is a Book; and the Church is a living institution. When I say "average I mean the average "professed Let's face it: the average professed Christian isn't often found feeding on the word of God; isn't often found on his knees; isn't often found trying to win his neighbors and friends to Christ; isn't often found doing good in Christ's name, without expectation of pay. You ask, "Is the average professed Christian saved?" To be a Christian in name is not enough.

Our Lord said; "Many will come to me in that day, and say, Lord, have we not done many wonderful works in your name?" And He will say, "Depart from me, I never knew you."
