WON OVER BY BEHAVIOR
1 Peter 3:1-2 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. (NIV)
Wives are advised in this verse of the Scriptures to win their unbelieving husbands over by their good behavior. And it is instructive to every believer.
Portraying a Christian behavior is important to winning the unbelievers to Christ. There are people that no matter what you preach they will not give their lives to Christ unless your good character compel them to. Unbelievers do not read Bible they read believers. And interestingly they are able to tell one who has a good behavior.
Preaching the Gospel to the unsaved is very important, and living what you preach is as important. Most often, unbelievers are moved by what they see than what they hear. Let them see the message you preach in your own life.
Let us read our theme scripture again, 1 Peter 3:1-2 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
People can be won over without words through your good behavior. If they do not believe what they heard, they cannot deny what they see. Let your behavior portray Christ. Deliberately take advantage of the opportunities that comes to you to display the love of Christ. If the love you preach doesn't win them they will be won over by the love you express. Express love; express good behavior.
PRAYER
Thank You Lord Jesus for the privilege to preach You and to represent you. Through the working of your Spirit in and through me, I give full expression to your love, demonstrating your character, and by this may unbelievers be won over to You without words. Amen! Hallelujah!
