Living in Exile

Followers of Jesus are called to live as exiles in a culture that often pressures them to conform, this urges Christians to remain steadfast in their identity in Christ. Despite the challenges, believers are called to live in a way that reflects their faith through good deeds, especially in the presence of non-believers. These actions serve as a powerful testimony, demonstrating the love and grace of Christ, even in a world that may not share the same values. Holding onto one's true identity in Christ enables believers to navigate cultural pressures with integrity and purpose.
