In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
(Matthew 5:16 (NIV))
We are told just a few passages earlier of our impact on the world.
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
(Matthew 5:14 (NIV))
Each member of the Body of Christ is to have an impact in this world. We are to share the truth and the light of the Gospel with a dark and dying world. No single individual can do it all. We are to each do our part. If we could physically see the light that we shine into the darkness, how bright would your light be? Are we truly doing what we are called to do?
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
(Mark 16:15-18 (NIV))
It is a wonderful thing to profess a faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, for that is what is required to be saved. Once saved, we have a responsibility to share that saving grace with anyone and everyone whom we meet. We must allow the light that we have received to shine into the lives of those around us, for it is said that we may be the only Jesus that some people will ever see.
