Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father.
If you are treating people with the love of God, people will not only see your good deeds, but they will also see Christ through you and begin praising Him because of the love of God they have experienced through you. On the other hand, if you are treating people anything less than with the love of God, people will begin to see your evil deeds. Christians are representatives of Christ here on earth; those witnessing and experiencing your evil deeds may begin to have negative thoughts about God. That is why as Christians we should examine the way we treat people.
However you treat other people is a reflection of your relationship with God. So do you really have that good relationship with God like you say you do? You cannot have a growing relationship with God and treating people like everything else but with the love of God. So examine your relationship with people and see how you really treat people.
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets''.
This is a really good word! Something that we can all work on. Good job!
