Our walk with God is very important. One reason why it is important is because people are watching you. Paul even told Timothy to be an example to the believer (I Timothy 4:12). When our actions reflect our belief system, it influences others. It can strengthen someone else’s resolve. It can inspire someone else. It can cause someone to see that there is someone who is capable of living the life of a Christian. It doesn’t mean you are perfect. It doesn’t mean that you won’t make a mistake, but at the very least, you are striving to be more like Christ. When we are hypocritical in our actions, acting like one person in church, and someone else outside of church, it can be detrimental to someone else’s walk with God. It could cause someone to backslide because they thought you were a Christian. The goal of this devotional is not to bring condemnation, but sobriety. We are God’s ambassadors, and we must strive to represent Him accurately here on the earth. He is counting on us to be not only an example, but to be a light in this dark world.
