"You are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses its salty taste, it cannot be made salty again. It is
good for nothing, except to be thrown out and walked on” (Matthew 5:13).
- You
are like LIGHT
"You are the light that gives
light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don't hide a light under a bowl.
They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for
other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise
your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16)
- You
are like a FRAGRANCE
As far as God is concerned there is a sweet, wholesome fragrance in our lives. It is the fragrance of Christ within us, an aroma to both the saved and the unsaved all around us (2 Corinthians 2:15).
WHAT DO OTHERS FIND ATTRACTIVE ABOUT
A CHRISTIAN L.I.F.E.?
Laughter & JOY
God
belongs to you. You people who are now
hungry are happy, because you will be satisfied. You people who are now crying
are happy, because you will laugh with joy.
Internal ATTRACTIVENESS
It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes
that should make you beautiful. No, your beauty should come from within you—the
beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very
precious to God (1 Peter 3:3-4).
Faithfulness to GOD’S WAY
The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from
God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong
in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do what is right. Using the Bible, the person who serves God
will be capable, having all that is needed to do every good work (2 Timothy
3:16-17).
Endures through TOUGH TIMES
But in every way we show we are servants of God: in
accepting many hard things, in troubles, in difficulties, and in great
problems. We show we are servants of God
by our pure lives, our understanding, patience, and kindness, by the Holy
Spirit, by true love, by speaking the truth, and by God's power. We use our
right living to defend ourselves against everything (2 Corinthians 6:4,6,7).
What life do you want to live?
[ ] A life that seeks the
attention of others and honors myself.
[ ] A life that grabs the
attention of others while seeking to honor God.
A closing question:
Your life is constantly being watched. What do you
think others are SEEING?
