We are the Only Bible some will ever see!

Who do we reflect? When the world looks at us, what do they see?

The Bible challenges us:

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." 1 Pet 2:9

The Christian is the world’s light, and the only Bible that many read. Thru Christians men see God. How careful, then, should those be who have taken the name of Christian. But many professing Christians crucify the Son of God afresh and put Him to open shame. He who fails to correct the mistakes shown him in the divine mirror, presents before the world a miserable representation of Christ. Angels veil their faces in sorrow. The world sees that he is not what he professes to be, and they turn from him as a counterfeit. Christians are either under Christ’s rule or under the control of the enemy. Their influence is either a savor of life unto life or of death unto death. They are either doing positive good or incalculable harm.

So which are we? Those that reflect Christ and are doing good, or those that are doing harm?

Review:

• Bible Thought: We are the only Bible some may ever see.
• Blessing: If our light isn't shining, maybe it's because our clay pot (like in Gideon's army) isn't broken. God is teaching me through brokenness how to shine.
• Battles: That I would remain on the altar, and not try to come down, just because things sometimes get hot and uncomfortable. "When He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Job 23:10
