(Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)

TO UPHOLD THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S WORD!

…By Life Example!
1 Peter 1:14-16 “14As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15but

am holy.’” (ESV)

testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (ESV)
Philippians 4:8-9 “8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things. 9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me -- practice these
things, and the God of peace will be with you.” (ESV)

…By Word Of Mouth!
1 Peter 4:11 “whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the
strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong
glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (ESV)
1 Peter 3:15-16 “15but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense
to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; 16yet do it with gentleness and respect,
having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may
be put to shame.” (ESV)

TO HUMBLY AND SUBMISSIVELY SERVE TO THE GLORY OF GOD!

grace:” (ESV)

saints and members of the household of God, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ

temple in the Lord. 22In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” (ESV)
