“What Message Is Your Life Sending”

Matthew 5: 13-16

Every person testifies to personal beliefs and priorities by the way he or she lives.  Jesus said that to the watching world, believers should be like Salt and light, which simply cannot be ignored. If we add salt to your food the improved taste is obvious, and when we bring light into a dark room, the darkness is dispelled, likewise our character, conduct, and conversation should make a difference to show the importance of the Lord Jesus Christ.

To live a life of significance that brings glory to the Lord, believers must begin by Reading and studying the word of God. As we meditate on His word, God reveals Himself, and we gradually absorb His life principles into our daily living. This enables us to make a greater impact on the World.

One good way to learn Scripture’s lessons is by researching the lives of the great servants of the bible-like Abraham, Moses, David, Esther, Peter and Paul. Their stories teach us how they coped with the challenges of life and how God engaged with them and their issues and how God is the same yesterday, today and forever. What he did for them he is more than able to do for you (Ephesians 3:20).

From these bible stories and other characters as well, we learn that our heavenly Father has a goal and plan for our lives, he desires to conform us to the image of his Son JESUS CHRIST. Recognizing this we can set an example for others to follow. Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ (I Corinthians 11:1).
