(Rom 11:14) if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
Jealousy is not the right outfit for a Christian to wear but there is a type of jealousy that the Bible favors. And that’s living for Christ in such a way that it makes others want to become a Christian. Are you living in such a way that when people look at you they can see God’s work in your life?:
(Acts 4:13) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.
Do you live in such a way that if you were arrested for being a Christian, there would be enough evidence to convict you?
(Acts 17:6) But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.
Live it for Jesus, brother, and be the best advertisement for the Christian life you can be.
