Many Christians forget that we are the light of the world, according to Matthew 5:14. This world, our families, our fellow believers, they all look to us as an example. We DO NOT live in a box or a vacuum, so we need to make sure our lives exhibit the life of Christ so that we are good example to follow.
I Corinthians 11:1 - Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
I Peter 2:9 - But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
This scripture says it all: we are to show forth. Be the Book of Acts example that you're supposed to be. That means we need to have the fruit of the spirit flourishing in our lives. We are Jesus Christ's hands and feet in this world, like it or not, so we have to pray, study, and live close to Him.
Why? Because somebody is watching you. You may not like it, but they are watching. The "do as I say, not as I do" mentality doesn't cut it. We have to be the Book of Acts church, not only when we're at church, but while were at home, at school, at work, etc...
Be the church, fellow believers, and we'll impact this world like never before. Be the leaders that you need to be. Remember, someone is watching you...
