Living the Message

Published: August 9, 2025 · Reviewed: October 6, 2025

There's been a lot of talk in the modern age about spending time calling for something to be done on social media rather than actually doing something. Even as Christians, it's easy to feel good about ourselves for sharing God's word with others and testifying about our faith on the internet.

Is it enough?

Jesus said that to the watching world, believers should be like salt and light.

If we add salt to soup, no one can deny the improvement in taste. If we bring a lamp into a dark room, darkness will flee.

Everyone testifies their personal belief and priorities first and foremost by the way they live their lives.

Our character, conduct, and even our conversations should reflect the necessity of Christ and make a clear statement about the glory of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer

When we are filled with a hope to have an impact on the world, a good place to start is by studying the scriptures. Studying the lives of Abraham, Moses, Daniel, David, Mary, Esther and others teaches us the way the learned from their mistakes, the ways they coped with difficulties and how they interacted with the Lord. The Biblical accounts also show us that our Father in Heaven has goals for our lives, and that He wants us to be like Christ.
