1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4.1-3)
I would like to focus on that first verse. As Christians we have a high calling as Ambassadors for Christ. How often we forget this while living in this world, which is not our home. Look at most Ambassadors for any country and they are normally different in appearance than the average person. (Speaking of the way they dress, look and conduct themselves.)
Then compare that with most Christians today. With most of us there is noting unique about us that would show people that there is something different in us or about us. We should not be weird, nerdy or different in a negative way,but people should notice we are not like the world. Who do our behaviors represent, Christ or the world?
