BE A GOOD EXAMPLE

As a Christian, you're a marked person - because you claimed to be a child of God. People are watching you to find out what a child of God is like. How does he react under pressure? What does he do when the going gets tough and rough? What does he do when there seems to be no way out? At work, at school, in the neighborhood, people are watching you. They are watching you, because they have problems and they want answers to their problems. Christianity promises an answer. You're a Christian, so they want to get answers to their issues.
Whether you want to be or not, you're an example of a believer to those people around you. They're watching you, because they don't know what a believer is all about. They assume that you're what a believer should be.

God has washed away my sins and written my name in the Book of Life. It is also a fantastic responsibility. People are watching me to find out what a Christian looks like, what he acts like, and what he is...

When you follow the Word of God and allow Him to work in your life, you are letting your light shine. Because of God’s Word, we can have life in eternity, speak solution to every obstacle that comes against us here on earth! When you are good to people and show them kindness, even when they don't deserve it, you are shining your light. When you smile and keep a good attitude, even when things don't go your way, you are setting an example so that people will glorify God in heaven. Notice this scripture says, "they will see your good works..." People aren't impressed by our knowledge or what we say, people are drawn to God by our good works. I challenge you to always be of good report so that sinners can be attracted to His Kingdom.

Prayer: Make me a good example for others to follow
