Our Life a Witness

"Jesus' disciples will need to look more saved if I am to believe in their Savior."



Sadly to say, Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher and pronounced atheist who stated this, denied Christ all the way to his death. In fact, most of his writings contained the statement "God is dead".



The Apostle Paul taught that our walk in Christ is our greatest witness. Paul says we are to,
"Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provisions for the flesh, to fulfill it's lusts."
(Rom. 13:14)

When we put on the Lord Jesus Christ we are not only walking in the Spirit, we are walking in God's love and should then edify others with that same love. The Apostle Paul's whole ministry was based on these principles:


1. Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to dispute over doubtful things. (Rom.14:1)



2. Pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.
(Rom.14:19)
3. Receive one another just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God. (Rom.15:7)

4. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called. (1Cor.7:23,24)

5. For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more. Paul became all things to all men, that he might save some. (1Cor.9:19,22)

6. For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Phil.1:21)

Paul set the example for us, to live as we are called to live, in Christ.

If you were arrested today for being a Christian,
would there be enough evidence to convict you?
