INTRODUCTION
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”.
Christian religion demands practical manifestation of the teaching of Jesus in the daily lives of the believers. Hence there is need to live in harmony with both Christians and non-Christian whose midst we found ourselves.
