Are you setting a good example as a christian?
By Emma Brownhill
Are you setting a good example to others through your christian life? You need to live your life as a true christian all the time. Other people (non-christians) are looking at us all the time seeing what we do and that is the best way to witness to them. We shouldn't just be a 'Sunday christian' , we should be living the christian life all the time. As christians we should not witness to people and then live the life of the world, as that is giving them the wrong impression of the christian walk. We shouldn't witness to our non-christian friends and then go drinking and smoking or gambling with them as this is not effective and puts across the impression a christian and that these things are exceptable to do as a christian.
We all fail and fall down but if we don't get up we are even more of a failure. We all make mistakes but we need to just carry on with the christian walk.
We need to get up, stand up and tell people about Jesus. We need to stand for what we believe and witness to others. Jesus said in . So we need to go forth and witness to the people around us. Do not be ashamed or afraid what people think of what you say. We need to tell people about Jesus, make them think and challenge them to what they believe.
We need to move out of our comfort zones and step out and talk about him otherwise they will not get saved. We need to ask for boldness and pray that the seeds we sow will be a witness. SAY THE SCRIPUTRE ABOUT THE SEEDS. Don't worry about what to do God will give you the right words to say. In Matthew 10v 20 it says that the spirit of God will be speaking through you.You will have oppositions but these are just attacks from the devil trying to put you down, but we need to carry on.
These seeds we plant all count even if it is not for years to come. When they have a troubled time in their life something you said or did might help them through and help them find God.
To set a good example as a christian we firstly need to put our walk right with God. We are good wittiness by leading the christian walk but we need to step out and witness to people in school in work and our friends. Have an open heart, expect miracles and ask God to bring opportunities. Ask for God's favour and persist on getting people saved, keep on wittinessing and you will set a good example as a christian.
