Is your light Shining?

  Is your light shining?

In the Gospel of Matthew we read,

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16:

Is your light shining for Christ? Jesus said,

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20. 

Do you tell people about your faith in God and the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus?

Doing so is a part of Christian life. We are to take the good news of Christ to the world around us.

As Christians, and true followers of Christ Jesus we need to pray for the Lord to open doors for us witness to all we come in contact with.

That’s not to say we overpower them with scripture, or as one pastor told me. Never hit someone over the head with the Bible. It will only turn them off. We should always be respectful. Respecting the person even if they have different views from us.

We should never judge them especially when it comes to where they will spend eternity. The apostle Paul wrote,

"What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?" 1 Corinthians 5:12.

All we are called to do is present our beliefs in Christ Jesus and let them decide for themselves if what we are saying is true.

So if you are a Christian. A true believer in Christ Jesus are you letting your light shine to those around you?

Please think about it.
