Core Truth: While it is easy to criticize the world for its sins, that is not our assignment as Christians. Rather, it is by our daily lives – our works, our attitudes, and our conduct that we are to bear witness to the truth of God’s righteousness and of His generous love and grace.
Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
