• 提多书 2:7-8

你要显出自己是好行为的榜样，在教导上要正直、庄重，言语健全，无可指责，使那反对的人，因说不出我们有什么不好而自觉羞愧。

• 哥林多后书 5:20

所以，我们作基督的特使，就好像上帝藉我们劝你们一般。我们替基督求你们，与上帝和好吧！

提多书2:7-8基本上总结了我们过去几天所学习的重点。要使我们的信仰有说服力，我们就必须做到连反对我们的人也无法说我们的不是。这并不意味着我们看起来很完美，或是我们不愿意承认我们并不完美。这只是意味着我们做人正直，而且在做每一项决定时，深知我们的选择不仅会影响到自己，还会影响到我们的教会和周围不认识耶稣的人们。为着他们的缘故，我们要竭力做到无愧于任何人。就像我们之前所说的，我们可能是上帝在他们生命中的唯一代表。

• Titus 2:7-8

Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.

• 2 Corinthians 5:20

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

This passage basically sums it all up. We earn the right to be heard because those who oppose us have nothing bad to say about us. That’s not to mean that we appear perfect or that we’re unwilling to admit we’re not perfect. It simply means that we have integrity and with every decision we understand that our choice will not only affect us, but our Church and those around us who don’t know Jesus. For their sake, we strive for right-standing with men. Like we've said before, we may be the only representation of God in their lives.

今早，想一想有哪些人需要耶稣，然后为最先浮现在你脑海里的三个人祷告几分钟。祈求上帝用你的正直去打动他们的心，并指引他们来到耶稣面前。

Pray for a few minutes this morning for the first three people that pop into your head when you think about people who need Jesus. Ask that God would use your integrity to reach their hearts and point them towards Jesus.
