Do your actions scream, "I am a Christian?"

Good morning all! A wonderful day to be alive in Jesus! Jesus, the one and only atonement for our sins! Thank you Jesus!!

1Peter 3:1-2 "In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives."

What?!?! The husband is the boss, ummm! Okay, when a man became a Christian, he usually would brig his whole family into the church with him. By contrast, a woman who became a Christian usually came into the church alone. Under Roman law, the husband and father had absolute authority over all members of his household, including his wife.

Demanding her rights as a free woman in Christ could endanger her marriage if her husband disapproved. Peter reassured Christian women who were married to unbelievers that they did not need to preach to their husbands. Under the circumstances, their best approach would be one of godly behavior.

They should show their husbands the kind of self-giving love that Christ showed the church. By being exemplary wives, they would please their husbands. At the very least, the men might the allow them to continue practicing their faith. At best, their husbands would join them and become Christians too.

How loud does our witness speak? Do your actions scream, "I am a Christian?"
Thank you for reading today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
