There are those who choose to reject Jesus because some of his followers are hypocrites. But this makes no sense. Many people don't live consistently with what they profess to believe. Christians don't own the monopoly on hypocrisy.There are plenty of humble and lovable Christians. But often the attention falls on false Christians or loudmouths or hypocrites. The gospel is all about Jesus. The Jesus that Christians believe is good, even when his followers violate his teachings.
The Bible never says you have to believe in Christians to be saved. It says you have to believe in Jesus. He's the One we're invited to come and see (John 1:46), and the only One who can save and transform us.
