If we proclaim to be Christians, then our appearance should very well appear to be people of Light, not giving the appearance of darkness! A truly Born-Again Christian would not partake, would not touch nor enjoy the things of darkness. A truly Born-Again Christian would not profess Jesus as the Lord of their life, yet, then turn around, commit adultery, start playing around in/with the things that the god of this world offers! Furthermore, why do you profess Jesus as your Lord, but yet, you enjoy the offerings of this present world, which in turn is pleasing to Satan? We absolutely positively must strive to do the things that please our Lord, Jesus! Living the God-kind of upstanding, moral life with emphasis on righteousness, goodness & truth to emulate from your being to penetrate the very dark, very evil world! Some will accept Jesus by your words, but, many will accept Jesus as they watch you, study you, trying to find out why you are different! Do they/will they find you/myself different from the rest of this world, as they watch us very closely?
Ephesians 5:8-11 (AMP) For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light] (for the fruit [the effect, the result] of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn [by experience] what is pleasing to the Lord [and letting your lifestyles be examples of what is most acceptable to Him—your behavior expressing gratitude to God for your salvation]. Do not participate in the worthless andunproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character].
God IS Good ALL The Time...
