Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
As Christians all eyes are upon us. Though it is by grace that we are saved, not by works, our fruit is what the world watches. Do we sin, even after the Saving Grace of our Lord? Of course. Like all humans, we are fallible. Perfection is hardly a trait that any Christian (or anybody but Christ) is capable of. But as a Christian, a changed creature with an enlivened spirit, habitual sin is something that should not be a problem anymore. In all of my thoughts Jesus dwells within them, and in all of my actions His light should be apparent. By proclaiming Christ as our savior we are calling upon eyes to watch us, and it is up to us to represent Him with good fruit. A lukewarm Christian can be more damaging to Christianity than a non-Christian who bashes Christianity. Let the Light of Jesus shine through all that we do and say.
