A Desirable Conversation - Philippians 1:27
See All...
INTRODUCTION
This world, though it consistently fails to recognize and know the Lord, should consistently recognize Christ's conversation through the life of the believer. Our conversation should always match, or become, the gospel of Christ and the new life that we have in Him. Our conversation should be holy because the Lord is holy (1 Peter 1:15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
See All...). In 2 Peter 3:11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
See All..., we learn that the dissolving of this world ought to cause us to walk “in all holy conversation and godliness.” In other words, our practical Christian life should resemble the change inside of us that took place at salvation. Others should see the Lord Jesus Christ in our actions and in our way of life.
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS
- (For children): Because of Daniel's good conversation, the king gave Daniel the highest position in the land. Others tried to find some fault in Daniel, but failed in their attempts (Daniel 6:3-4 [3] Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
[4] Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
See All...). These men decided to trick the king into making a law which said you could only pray to the king or die. Daniel still prayed three times a day to God. - (For everyone): Does your conversation reflect a life dedicated to Christ? Can others learn about the conversation of the Lord by examining your conversation?
- Does your conversation bring a reproach upon the person and work of the Lord? What do others think of the Lord from what they see from your daily conversation?
PRAYER NEEDS
- Ask the Lord to help your conversation match your salvation.
- Ask God to help you become concerned as to the nature of your walk.
