OCTOBER 1 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

1 Peter 2:12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

LIVE SUCH GOOD LIVES AMONG THE PAGANS

As Christians, our lives our lives should stand out in a positive way from people in the world who do not follow Christ (Philippians 2:15). Our aim is not to be different or to isolate ourselves from the rest of society; rather, our goal is to reflect Christ’s character and shine His light in spiritually dark places (Matthew 5:14-16; Titus 2:8). Most people are still searching for satisfaction and significance in life. If we can reflect God’s uncommon and undeniable peace and purpose, people will take notice. Some will be inspired to consider the claims of Christ for themselves. Others may reject or mistreat us; but sometimes those who give Christians the hardest time are the most serious about finding something that is real and worth living and dying for. As a result, they will put believers to the test to see if what they have is worth holding on to. We must treat such people with special grace and show them that following Christ means more than anything else in life.
