James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh. 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

Most people are excited when you tell them about their position in Christ, the truth is, everyone should be excited. The finished work of Christ is our reality of redemption and eternal position in and with Christ forever.

The reality of our position is the reason for our faith. However, our faith propelled us to live in a way that is pleasing unto God. Our good work is a manifestation of our faith in Him. When you are not in faith, it shows in your lifestyle and conduct among men.

Faith lane cannot be camouflage, you can do it for a while, the real you will eventually emerged. Character is like a smoke, after some time, it will find a way for expression. Pay attention to developing your character more than your outlook. I once said, God is more interested in what you are becoming in Him than what you are becoming to the people around.

Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Did you see that? Men must look at you and say you're truly a child of God through your conduct. You are the light in the midst of perverse world. You are God's standard that judges the wickedness of men like Noah in his days. So, arise and live as God's children.
