We as the future generation need to start living for Christ.
Most of us know at least 1 person who is not saved, especially if you go to public school or have a job. You may in fact be one of those people. You might not realise this but as Christians we are called to be witnesses to those who don't know Christ.
In order to do this we have to start living for him. Some of you may ask, how do I show that I'm living for God? The answer is more simple then most of us would think, we can be a witness and live for him by not conforming to what the world thinks is right. Keeping our own standards and limits, and never crossing the line.
In fact you can show that you're not like the world in some of the smallest things that you say and do. Here are a few examples,
1. Only listen to christian music.
I know this one can be hard with all the different types of music out there, but the bible say's that Satan was the angel of music before he was cast out of Heaven. I have just recently given up all unChristian music, and I will admit that no it wasn't easy, but in the end it was worth it. My way of thinking was, why is it bad if it's not singing about anything bad? But then God asked me, if it's not glorifying me then why are you listening to it? Music was made to glorify him, but Satan has twisted it into something completely different. So we need to be careful of what we listen to.
2. Honor God with what we say.
This is fairly simple, we can honor God with what we say by not swearing, not lying, not gossipping, and with what we talk about. These are easy enough to read, but puting some of them into action is much harder. If you swear to fit in with a certain group of friends, once you start it's hard to stop, because once you've put that into yourself, it's hard to get it out. The way you stop is by puting in something good in it's place, like Bible. We must always think about what we are saying and ask ourselves if it is glorifying God.
3. Honor God with the way we dress.
This one is so important I cannot stress this enough! We as christians have to honor God in this! How can we be a witness to the unsaved if we dress just like them, and don't demonstrate what we believe?! If we don't look any different than they do then why would they want to change? We have to honor God with our body's, if we are a stumbling block to someone else because of the way we dress we will one day be held accountable. If you don't dress modestly not only are you saying that you don't care about being a witness, you are saying that you don't have any respect for yourself or body. And that is not the way we want others to see us.
