TOPIC:  Christian Living

SUB TOPIC:

• Christian living in the community: 5: 13-16.

SUB TOPIC: 1.     CHRISTIANS LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY: MATT 5: 13-16

Christians living in the community are the salt of the community. As salt prevents food from decay, so Christians are expected to prevent their community from moral decay. But if they fail to do this then, they are of no use to the community morally. We are to preserve values like truthfulness, decent dressing, uprightness, respect for elders, hard work, etc

Christians living in the community are also referred to as the light of the world. The presence of light makes people see the right path in a dark environment. In a similar vein, our lives as Christians should show unbelievers in our community the way to Christ, the everlasting light. We are, therefore, advised thus, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven”.

SUB TOPIC: 2. CHRISTIANS ATTITUDE TO PERSECUTION, JAMES 1:12-15; 1PET. 1:6-10; 1PET. 3:13-1, Matt. 5:11-12,

Persecution refers to the harassment, trouble, embarrassment and affliction a Christian suffers because of his religious beliefs.

SOURCES OF PERSECUTION:

Persecution can come from different people and in different forms.

1. It can come from one’s parents and siblings: Family members who are not Christians may begin to make life uncomfortable for any member who gives his life to Christ.
