God what are you saying today? Hmm........
I guess we all represent something or someone. We wave the flag of one nation or another, of one identity or another and this devotions (from 1 Pedro 2:9-17/ 1 Peter 2:9-17) outlines the identity that I should be representing as a Christian: the life I should be living because of the God I've chosen to follow-the relationship of which I've chosen to be a part.
I guess the verse I'm looking into is 12: "Mantened una conducta ejemplar entre los gentiles, para que, en lo que os acusan de malhechores al ver vuestras buenas obras, glorifiquen a Dios en el día de la visitación."/ "Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
I see it as a means of encouragement to live the life I've been called for so that my life is an example to those who don't know the awesomeness of God. Punto. And I remember in Ephesians 4 (a really helpful chapter in Christian living), we are also encouraged to do the same thing. Living the life worthy of the calling, one that shows we belong to our Father, and in doing this, we glorify Him.
So, wavin' my flag of Christ shows my loyalty to Him and my desire to represent Him in all I do. Now, wave your flag....K'Naan and David Bisbal-español e inglés!!!
Let's wave the flag that represents the core of who we are.
