Bible passages to read and reflect on this week:

1 Peter Chapter 2 (The Key Passage is 1 Peter 2:12)

A major way that Christians stand out in the world is by living good lives and doing good things. The choices you make regarding clothing, entertainment, and how you spend your money are noticed by those around you. People know that you are a Christian, and when you live a good life before them, you point them to Christ. It's hard to argue with good results. When people see your children showing respect to others and making good choices, they will wonder what you are doing differently as a mother. When people notice that you support missions or give your time to minister to others, they will wonder why. One of the greatest ways to witness to those around you is by living a godly life before them. When others notice the difference in you, you can point them to Jesus. Our good deeds have one purpose--to bring glory to God.

Why should believers do good deeds? What is the purpose?

What are you doing that points others to Christ?
