In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16, ESV
Emmanuel – God with us – showed us the way to live and love others, that we may manifest the Lord through our actions toward and for others.
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Only by Jesus can we get eternal life. Believe in Him, and let His light shine through you to reach and save our fallen world.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10, ESV
We take care of our own. Interestingly, if we live or Christ’s love, we will probably pass it on to our lost, hurting world, so that they then will see our good works and praise our Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Luke 12:3, ESV
We may think we can get away with private sins and things nobody was around to see, hear, or know.
But God sees and knows all, and we will stand before Him one day.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:7, ESV
Signs we are walking in the light:
And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:3, ESV
The Lord draws all peoples to Himself. We are all made in the image of God, so we all must share the gospel with all people. As it says, one day every knee will bow to Jesus.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5, ESV
Light can be blocked but not overcome.
Many in our world may feel Christianity is dying or being done away with, but Christ cannot be overcome. He wins in the end!
And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:3, ESV
Because of Christ’s good work, we now can be like a city on a hill, letting our good works shine brightly to the glory of the Father.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16, NASB
Being a Christian means people will watch you.
Live in such a way that they see your good works and healthy relationships and want to know the God who made you.
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
Psalms 119:105, NASB
Scripture reveals how we should live our lives: our sinfulness, need for a Savior, how to love God and others, and to bring glory to God in all things. It guides and instructs us by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
