“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation” (1 Peter 2:12).
The Living Bible states this about today’s verse: “Be careful how you behave among your unsaved neighbors, for then, even if they are suspicious of you and talk against you, they will end up praising God for your good works when Christ returns.” We must let our light shine in our sin-darkened world so when slanderous charges are brought against us, no one will believe what is said against us. If we have to be criticized for anything, let it be for our good works. May we only be guilty of showing grace to the world.
