“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
When we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior, we have a new life in us. God wants us to allow that new life to shine out in our everyday life. We must live in this world, go to school, go to work, and interact with people who are not saved. But they should be able to see that we are different. How do they see this?
We may tell people that we are saved and belong to the Lord Jesus. But they cannot see into our hearts. The only way they will know for sure that we belong to the Lord Jesus is if what we say and do is different from those who are not Christians. For many people in this world, a believer’s life is the only Bible they ever read. That means that even though they may not read the Bible, they ought to be able to see Christ in you and me. They should see our “good works,” and then glorify our God and Father who is in heaven. They should be able to recognize that our good works are not because we are nice people, but because we know the Lord.
