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

4 • Lesson Fifteen


C. In deed
You must guard your testimony in every situation from the ordinary to the unusual.

“Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works” (Titus 2:14).

1. At work or school
This is the situation where peer pressure will be the greatest. It is the most important area to conquer. If you can live for Christ in this arena, you can do it anywhere

2. In the home
“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel” (1 Timothy 5:8).

The ministry to family is the first responsibility of most Christians. If you do not minister properly to your family, you are not ready to minister anywhere else.

3. In social situations
“I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat” (1 Corinthians 5:9–11).

If you will live what you preach, you will have many opportunities to share with others their need for a personal savior. But, you must not compromise your faith when involved in social situations. If this becomes a problem area, you would be better off to break off any relationships that cause you to stumble as a Christian.
