—1 Peter 2:4-12
by: Lisa Moore.
Many of the Israelites took on the heathen customs of the neighboring nations and eventually the people who held them in captivity. God punished them repeatedly for this adulterous behavior. Unfortunately, Peter also had to warn believers of his day to abstain from fleshly passions and to live honorably among unbelievers. Although we are in the world, we are not of the world. We are ambassadors for Christ, and our conduct and conversation must represent Him. Undercover Christianity displeases God. Let our lights so shine so that men will see our good works and glorify God (Matthew 5:16).
