Let the Gospel Show Forth in Your Character (2)

“…only let your conduct be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs…”- Philippians 1:27 (NKJV)

Having established the importance of allowing the Gospel to show forth in your character, someone might say with all the wickedness and betrayal going on in the world, it is just not easy to express the word in your character. But even in the days of Jesus Christ, wickedness was in the world, yet He was different. The only reason people think it’s not easy to manifest the word of God is because they have not fully given themselves to the word and their minds have not been renewed. If you make up your mind to walk in this path, there is nothing that will change your mind. Not even the wickedness, so do the needful today and let your Character reflect the Gospel. 

It is a major sign of your Christian maturity. You should not be found cursing, using vulgar languages or fighting. I know that this is quite difficult because people nowadays can be very annoying, but you see, this is where self-control comes into play. You have to exercise self-control because it is part of the fruit of the spirit that was revealed to us in the scriptures. The Bible says, “…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control…’‘Galatians 5:22 (NKJV). So, your responsibility is to manifest these traits when it is needed. Therefore, as you journey in your Christian walk, become mindful of these things. Do all you can to let the Gospel show forth in your character at all times. Let people see you and say, “this one has been changed by the Gospel”. Hallelujah!
