| October 26 Fruit of
the Light - Truth Truth is a fairly
basic concept for Christians and non-Christians
alike. We were raised being told to tell
the truth. It is also at the very core of
Christianity that we are not to bear false
witness, or in other words, to lie. But the
truth extends beyond just not lying.
Christians are witnesses of Jesus Christ.
We are a testimony to the power of God through
the difference in our lives. This must be
told to others. The name Christian literally
means little Christ. When we take the name
Christian, we claim Christlikeness as well.
To deny that we are Christians either verbally
or by the way we act is to avoid the truth. We
do not have to be obnoxious about our faith but
we should not hide who we are either. Many
Christians are Sunday morning Christians only.
They have no problem showing up to church but do
not talk about it throughout the week. Being
truthful includes being open about your
Christianity. You should do nothing to
hide it but instead be proud of your identity in
Christ. |
