Christian you are

 Christian you are

The apostle Peter writes,

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  

Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 

Dear friends,

I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.  

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us." 1 Peter 2:9-12.

Question. 

If you claim to be a Christian. 

A true follower of Christ Jesus.

Are you doing this?

Please think about it.

You Are. Are You.

You Are. Are You
Jesus said,
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16.
The apostle Peter writes,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

If you claim to be a follower of Christ Jesus,

• Are you letting your light shine before men? 
• Are you living a life that is worthy of the calling of Christ? 
• Are you doing your best to abstain from sinful desires?

Please think about it.

Delight in the Law of The Lord

Delight in the Law of The Lord
The Psalmist writes,

“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked 

or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, 

and on his law he meditates day and night.” 

                                                          Psalm 1:1,2.

The apostle Peter writes,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

If you consider yourself a true follower of Christ Jesus, do you delight in the law of the Lord? Do you abstain from “sinful desires”?
Do you live a good life?
Francis of Assis wrote,

“The deeds you do may be the only sermon

 some persons will hear today” 

                                                    Francis of Assisi.

What will your deeds,... “your Sermon”, tell those around you about you. About Christ.
Please think about it.
