Life of a Christian

People are always watching, especially when faith seems no different from ordinary life. Jesus calls His followers salt that resists moral decay and light that makes good deeds visible, so others praise their Father in heaven. These images describe what Christians already are, not a status earned through anxious self-improvement. Because Jesus has dealt with their sins on the cross and changed them from within, they can look outward, oppose injustice, and openly care for others.
