(2 Corinthians 1:12)
What should mark our behavior as Christians in this world? First of all, Simplicity. Without a doubt people should be able to see what we are all about.
We should not complicate our lives with selfish desires, and selfish pursuits. First and foremost we want people to see the character of Jesus Christ in us, and nothing else.
Secondly there is Sincerity. Let's live what we profess. If we say we are Christians, then let's act like it. The church is criticized for having hypocrites in the fellowship. We can make it hard for our critics to make that claim, when we are sincere about our Christian behavior.
And last but not least, The grace of God. We as Christians have been blessed to experience the grace of God in our lives. We should extend that grace to others, to really show what the love of God is all about.
So many have never experienced it. It is a mark of our behavior that will draw people to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and bless them now, and for eternity.
As a Christian, how am I to be? May people see these three, in me! GP
