A mechanical Christian is someone who claims to be a Christian, goes to church, attend all the meetings and services, but doesn't actually live the life of a believer.
They go to church likely because that's how they've been brought up. They
wake up every Sunday morning and get ready for church, not because they're hoping to have an encounter with God, but because that little routine has always been a part of their life.
Dressing up and
going to church every Sunday is just one of those weekend activities, that they've gotten accustomed to. Hence, they live a mechanical life.
They give tithes and offerings because it's customary to do so. They say grace before meals because it's customary to do as a Christian. But deep down within them, they have no real
relationship with God.
They do these things out of habit, mechanically, and not because they have any real conviction in them.
This practice is called Mechanical
Christianity.
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power therefore." - 2. Tim 3:5
A: Sharon used to be a Mechanical Christian at her early life, but I'm glad she finally had an actual encounter with Jesus.
B: Now she comes to church not because she's expected to attend a church as a Christian, but because she actually wants to hear a message from the lord.
A: Yea, mechanical
Christianity can lead someone into a false sense of being saved. Only true
relationship with God brings
enlightenment.
