Lifestyle of Christians!
The lifestyle of all Christians
ought to be such as becometh the gospel of Christ. Our lives ought
to be honoring to Christ in every way. The way we think; the way we
speak; the way we act; ought to manifest the life of the Holy Spirit
who dwells within us. All Christians are supernaturally bound
together by the indwelling Holy Spirit, and ought to stand fast with
one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel. Christians
ought to expect to be treated by the world and the enemies of Christ
in the same manner as Christ was treated by the world. If the world
did not want to accept the lifestyle of Christ, then we cannot expect
the world to be engrossed by our lifestyle if indeed Christ lives in
us.
“Only let your conversation be
as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you,
or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in
one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the
gospel. And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to
them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that
of God. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only
to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; having the same
conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.” Philippians
1: 27-30.
