Christian living in the community (1 Peter 2:9; 1 Peter 1:3-11; Matt 5:13-16).
Hello, fans! Happy Sunday to you all, it's your babe Annexoyiz, don't forget to keep focusing on what is important. Today, I brought to you a word of God as you all know that today is Sunday.
Community refers to people living in the same area, village, or town. As human beings, Christians live with others in the community. Christians who live in the community are therefore expected to distinguish themselves as Christians. They should do this by leading an exemplary life before others in the community.
What Christians are expected to do in the community.
- Obey all constituted authority in the community
- Carry out their religious and Civic responsibilities Faithfully and truthfully.
- Comfort themselves in an exemplary manner before the members of the community who are not Christians.
Therefore Christians are expected to relate well with others in the community (both Christian and non-Christians). And must follow love and tolerance even when they are being victimized because of their religious belief. Christian leaders and their followers must relate very well to one another based on the Christian principles of Love and Humility.
ST. Peter advises the Christian to maintain good conduct, among the non-Christians so that in case they speak against the Christians as wrongdoers, they might see their good works and glorify God on the day of judgment;
Above all, Jesus said that Christians living in the community should be the Salt and the Light of their communities.
"You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the World..." (matt 5:13-14)
As the salt and light of their community, Christians have the responsibility of preserving, adding taste, and bringing life to their community.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (matt 5:6).
