When the Lord speaks, He wants us to obey without trying to change His mind or seek a way out of doing His will. Believers are simply to “trust and obey” if we want to please the Lord.
There’s no hypocrisy or pretense in the life of the blameless and harmless Christian. We are to stand out as “sons of God” without “rebuke”.
The world is dark and need the light pointing to God. Believers are to shine, to be lighthouses, warning of the dangers of sin and pointing them to the safe harbor of salvation --- always reflecting the light of Jesus. You may be the only Bible some folks read.
