“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Somebody once asked me, “Pastor, which is more important? Witnessing with our life or witnessing with our lips?” Well, that’s like asking which wing of the airplane is most important… you have to have both!
When it comes to leading others to Christ, many Christians today think, “Oh, I’ll just live a good life and those people will see how good I am and jump right on board.” Now isn’t that arrogant to think that by our good lives, people will come to Christ? It’s not our lives but the life of the Lord Jesus Christ that they need!
You and I don’t just need to present ourselves and our good works. We also need to tell people the reason for the hope that is in us!
