Witness by actions
Today's word: 1 Peter 3:13-16
13Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear[a]; do not be frightened."[b] 15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
How about you?
Are you a good witness? A good witness must be reliable in word and character. Do you talk and your walk(or actions) produce enough evidence to show you are a Christian? Christ must be seen in your actions before others will be willing to listen and accept the testimony from your mouth.
To memorize: 1 Peter 3:15 (a)
in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
