"Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles:...." 1Peter 2:12


In biblical terms, our conversation is much more than merely what we say. It includes all aspect of our behaviour and therefore life. The upright, honest and kind manner of Christ-like believers, can be a powerful influence in a world which overall has a poor view and opinion of all things 'religious'. Christians can make the difference in showing that true disciples of Jesus are not pompous, self -righteous or just upholding religious ceremony and tradition. They can be instrumental in showing God and His ways to the world around them, by living and practicing the values and principles which Jesus established. While this does not guarantee the conversion of  others to Christ, it certainly helps and encourages consideration, by making Jesus and true Christian ways, 'visual' and more desirable to any who may care to observe.
