Your Actions Will Win Them

1 Peter 3:1b NLT “…your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over”
If you read the same verse in NKJV it says, "They, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives”

Manytimes, we try to win people over by telling them all about what we know or explain how they should act. We may have good intentions and really want to help people, but in reality, it is our life of excellence and integrity that speaks to the hearts of others.

In this particular scripture, Peter is talking to women who received salvation after they were married and had husbands who were not yet believers, but the message still applies to every believer. The first thing people should notice about us (believers) is our love, patience, kindness, gentleness, strength, and joy. When they see the difference Christ has made in our lives, they will want what we have. The scripture says it’s God’s kindness that leads people to repentance, not nagging.
So, let our light shine, be good-natured, and be kind. We are the salt of the earth. Make people thirsty for what we have. Behind the scenes, we should pray for their salvation and be ready to share the message of the gospel when the time is right. Remember, actions speak louder than words. Be an example of God’s love so we can effectively win others to Him!

As believers we should ask God to help us to display our characteristics of love and goodness so that others will turn to us.
We have to thank God for choosing to use us and we should surrender every area of our life to Him.

God bless you.
