The
way we live with one another demonstrates what we believe about ourselves and
our values. What has deep meaning for
us governs the direction of how we behave with others and how we react in different
situations. Our existence depends on our values. Who am I?
Where did I come from? Where am
I going? Who are you? Who is in control?
It
seems clear to me that the value of our faith and who we think Jesus is determines
the way we behave with others and how we respond to different situations. If we feel deeply about our Christian faith,
then those we live with, work with and play with will see the reflection of
that faith in how we live.
Our lifestyle will
becomes a contagious visual that others will be attracted to and want to
experience themselves. Do we accept and forgive others as Christ
accepts and forgives us? Do we share
the joy of life by the way we treat others?
Are we there for comfort with those who are struggling? Are we open to share our struggles with
others so that we may learn from our experiences?
As
we are intentional in living in ways that demonstrates God’s love, then the
Gospel or good news of Christ is a positive invitation to others to join the
family of faith.
