"Bridging the world to God through the gospel of Jesus Christ"

2 • Lesson Fifteen


I. Your Testimony Before the World
“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:13–16).

Our Savior has commanded us to be salt and light to the world. If we will obey this commandment, God will be glorified and others will be won to Him (1 Peter 3:1–2).

Philippians 2:14–16; Colossians 4:6

A. In word
The things you talk about and the language you use tell a lot about where your heart is. Because the world is watching, you need to choose your words wisely and carefully. You must try to avoid using foul or offensive language because when unsaved people hear this coming from your lips, they normally will react by reassuring themselves that you are no different than anybody else. They will then conclude that you have nothing to offer them.

Psalms19:14; Colossians 3:8–10; Philippains 1:27
