When Jesus says things like "This is how they will know that you are
my disciples, by your love for one another." and "Let your light so
shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your
Father
in Heaven." he's saying that our Christian faith will be visible to
those who are not Christians. But He also says "Beware of practicing
your righteousness before men to be noticed by them, otherwise you have
no reward with your Father in Heaven." So how do we know that we are
doing "good works" versus "acts of righteousness". Jesus gave us the
example of Salt and Light. Salt does stuff, but you don't actually SEE
it doing it's stuff. Light illuminates everything, and cannot be hidden
unless its covered up.
In this sermon Pastor Chris Kopp teaches on this subject. Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday April 6th, 2014.
