Thought for Today - October 15
Lifestyle of Christians
By: Robert A. Searles
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 truly born again
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.
