Laity Sunday Sermon: "A Transformed Life", Matthew 5:14-16
Light takes away darkness. It exposes hidden deeds. It brings truth to those in sin, and brings hope to those burdened (John 3:19-21)
As Christians, we must a life that shows the light of Jesus to an unbelieving world. There is no reason to hide our identity as Christians. If we as Christians wish to place our light under a basket, and are unwilling to allow our light to shine, we have failed in our duty to be God's light.
Paul writes in Ephesians 5:8-13 that once we have the light, we must be transformed, leading a life that God approves.
The fruits of light versus fruitless deeds of darkness: what is your life marked by?
-Self-centredness
-Sexual immorality
-Gossip
-A spiteful, loose tongue
We don't need better evangelistic methods; we need believers who live like believers. Can your friends/relatives/colleagues notice the difference?
