Day 21 | OUT: Missional Zeal

READ

Matthew 5:14-16 ESV

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

This Scripture calls believers to shine as lights in the world through their good works, pointing others to glorify God.
