A Christian in a Non-Christian World
(Titus 2:1-15)
Being a Christian is a full-time job. All of us here who believe in
Christ are constantly employed in this full-time job of living as
Christians in a non-Christian World. Being a Christian affects us
constantly in the way we live, from day to day, at home, or at work,
or even at play. It demands constant attention, diligent effort and
mental and spiritual energy. It is something we have to keep working
on (Philippians 2:12, 13). It will not come about by itself.
But it is gainful work, because it yields important results. It is
this kind of consistent, daily Christian living that exerts a great
influence on those around us: our family, our friends and colleagues.
The influence that we have on others, can make a really important
permanent impact on them. Being Christians means living lives that
will consistently display God’s work and power in our lives. It means
consciously making a good impression on those around us, by our
godly influence, so that they, too, will want to know and follow
Christ.
Now, if we say that we are Christians, and yet live our lives in an
ungodly way, influencing those around us to think negatively about
our Saviour then there might be something terribly wrong about our
claim to be Christ’s followers. There are many people today who
claim to be Christians, but their lives obviously contradict this claim.
This is a real problem — a problem that is growing in many churches
today.
