Read 1 Peter 2:11-12
If we鈥檙e honest, Christianity has an image problem. Perhaps that鈥檚 because we focus on the wrong priorities. Many Jesus followers want to debate people into a relationship with Jesus or focus on issues that have little to do with our faith. The problem is we can鈥檛 argue someone into God鈥檚 kingdom.
So what can we do to impact our world and change the perception of the Church? Let鈥檚 take our cues from the early Church. The early Church spread like a wildfire because of their radical generosity and love! Being rich in good deeds is a way to point people to our faith and ultimately to Jesus. We can pray that because of God鈥檚 power through us, our good deeds point people to Jesus. Doing good things isn鈥檛 to impress others or make us feel better. We are planting good seeds that can one day grow into a deeper faith as others meet Jesus and take the next steps with him.
