Be careful how you live among your unbelieving neighbors. Even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will believe and give honor to God when he comes to judge the world.
If Christians chose to live honorably, it's highly likely that more people would come to believe the good news about the Lord Jesus Christ. Patrick Morley wrote that the church's problem with integrity is in the misconception "that we can add Christ to our lives, but not subtract sin. It is a change in belief without a change in behavior." People must see the good behavioral change in our lives because our walk is greater than our talk. After all, what people see is what people will believe. Ask yourself this question: would people know that I was a Christian by the way I live my life? The answer to that question is going to unveil a lot about your integrity.
