Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.-2 Corinthians 5:17
As Christians, our lives should look different than those around us. There should be no doubt in their minds that we are Christ followers. So, what can we do, so others will take notice? Pray! Ask God for wisdom.
In addition, find ways to introduce God to those around you. One of my favorite things to say during a conversation is “Praise God!” Something so simple, that causes people to question why you said that. I’ve also peaked curiosity by mentioning something that happened at church last weekend. Many times, people will ask what church you attend, or want more information about it. We’re all so hungry for something different, something to fill that emptiness inside us. It’s funny, as some people’s whole demeanor will change, when they know that you’re a believer. I’ve had people apologize for cussing around me or saying something degrading. Glory to God when that happens!
In order for people to see Christ, they have to see something in us, that they don’t see in the world.
Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. 1 Peter 2:12
Do you live your life on the fence? Teetering back and forth between the world and Christianity. I’ve followed Christ for years, and still find myself shifting, depending on who I’m around.
Being in outside sales the majority of my career, I was alway taught that there are two thing you should never discuss. Politics & religion…. I’ve never looked at Christianity as religion, as it’s teaching is polar opposite.
I’ve always tried to live my life in a way that would cause others to take notice. Have I got it all figured out? Nope! I’m a work in progress… I’m just thankful that I have God to walk me through it!
