Not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. (Titus 2:10 NKJV)
In preaching the Gospel of Christ, our goal is to win unbelievers to Him. The Gospel is the Good News of Salvation. Everyone wants to be saved, but not all who hear the words of God are converted and become believers. Few embrace the faith, especially in this generation where the hearts of men are focused on things of the world. What we preach are not that easily comprehended because we teach about things of heaven, those that are not seen by the naked eyes and intangible in this present life. The best way we can win people to Christ is to show them the beauty of holiness. Let us make every effort to decorate the doctrine or the Words of God so that unbelievers may notice us and be attracted to our upright living. Our adornment as Christians should not be merely on the outside – flashy lifestyles, wearing jewelries, and nice dresses – but with our conduct, which is the outward manifestation of our inner personality. Let us show them our inner beauty which is our obedience to the doctrine of Christ. We should show them that the promises of God are not only for the future reward of eternal life but here and now, in this present life, to be enjoyed by those who have accepted, received, and had faith in Christ. Be the magnet that attracts men to Christ. The magnetic force that will do so is a life of love, faithfulness, and godliness.
