Fully trusted...

"... but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive." - Titus 2:10

I take my car down the road about eighteen miles whenever it needs repair. I also travel to the same location for a simple oil change, even though it costs a little more. Why in the world would I do such a thing you might ask? It's simple; this dealership is friendly, honest, fast and they do excellent work. They never replace anything on my car that doesn't need replacing. I am attracted to this dealership because they can be fully trusted.

The church grows when believers are genuine. Paul knew that being the real thing had to be seen in the workplace as well as the worship center. The message of Christ is exciting, joyful and hopeful; it's full of promise in every way. But if the world can't see it working in the believer's life, they will never be attracted to Christ. They need to see that God's people are genuine and can be fully trusted.

You are being watched my brother and sister in Christ. When you think your employer and fellow employees, to whom you have witnessed, have turned a deaf ear, they are watching you. They are looking for the real thing and if they find that you are genuine in your daily conduct, they will be attracted to Christ, because you can be fully trusted.
