So it gives us that contrast there, okay, and it says in this are the sons of God manifest
as well as the sons of the devil. So what does that tell us? Well this is why the Bible tells us
let your life so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your
father which is in heaven. You know when obviously our main ministry here is soul winning
we want to go out there and preach the gospel and see people saved but not at the
exclusion of just you living this wicked life where you're not you know being a good testimony
you're not letting your light so shine before men. God wants you to have a good testimony.
You know he wants you to have the breastplate of righteousness. You see you never want to
be a Christian who just is shot with the preparation of the gospel of peace but you're
not you don't have the breastplate of righteousness. Moral living letting your light
so shine before men that they may see your good works that's how you're made manifest.
Imagine. That's why you know if you
dress like a Christian here you should dress like a Christian when you're out there.
You know often we're we're in a grocery store with my family my kids and people
people see that they just kind of like stare at us like okay these these
these aren't just like regular people you know because we're dressed different we act different
we look different. You know I'm sure brother Albert's family stands out just a little bit
when they're out and about right and you know what that is a testimony okay that's why we should
make sure that we well I don't care what people think about me yeah but you kind of
should a little bit though right because we're we're aren't we ambassadors for Christ right
right aren't we representing the Lord and don't we want to have this uh this disposition
and this thing where people can see us and say are you a Christian
okay what church you go to and it's kind of like an icebreaker right now we don't believe in
lifestyle evangelism because some people only do that and they don't even want to witness to them
they just think by their glorious appearing that they're just going to win a bunch of people
to Christ doesn't work that way we we use it like an icebreaker people see us and like
man this person must be a Christian spark up a conversation you could witness to them etc.
