Before and After
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. (1 John 1:6 NIV)
This point was brought up a lot in my Sunday School in middle school. Basically, if we say we are a Christian, yet party and drink and cuss and do not act like one, we are lying to everyone. People will think Christianity is not a different way of life; they will think "if that person says they are a Christian, but they act like the world, we must be Christians too." That is misleading. We, as Christians, should be setting an example for the world that says "we are different, we are always trying to do the right thing, make the right decisions, and we trust in God to carry us through our time of need." Be the example, don't be a liar, is pretty much what this verse tells us.
