HONORABLE TO ALL MEN
3 Maccabees 3:3-5
The Jews, though, maintained their goodwill and unswerving faith toward the throne. But because they worshiped God and lived by His precepts, they kept themselves separate from others with regard to food, and therefore appeared hateful to some. But they adorned their way of life with the good deeds of righteous people, and thus established themselves as honorable to all men.
Personal Challenge
As Christians, we are to live our lives as Paul instructed in his writings, as foreigners in someone else's land. We are no longer citizens of this would but citizens of heaven and God's ambassadors. Even though we choose to live our lives set apart for God, and therefore, different than everyone around us our lives can be esteemed by those who disagree with our faith because we are righteous people doing good deeds for out neighbor. Glory be to God!
