—1 Peter 2:11-17
by: Ellen Olson.
One of the ways that Christians are witnesses for God is in the way they conduct themselves daily. Paul tells us that we are to submit to authority. We are to do good. We are to use our freedom not to do what we desire, but rather to choose servanthood. We are to honor all people and love our fellow Christians.
When we conduct ourselves honorably, we limit the ability of non-Christians to accuse us of misbehavior and simultaneously act as witnesses for Christ. Our behavior is the outward manifestation of God's presence in our lives. Let's make sure it is honorable.
