“And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.”
(Acts 18:4)
It is our job as Christians to be persuasive. Our manner of life, our attitude and demeanor, and our logical and fair discussion should all be brought to bear for the cause of Christ. We must accept that our lives are not our own. We live for Christ. We cannot afford to waste our time in useless squabbles or to live in a carelessly offensive way. If people are offended by us, let it be because of our faith, not our foolishness.
Our lives should be persuasive, and we need to think and act reasonably so that we might persuade and reason with those outside of Christ. He died for them; the least we can do is live with them in mind.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
