Peter wrote, “having our conduct honorable among the Gentiles that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation” (1 Peter 2:12).
What is the day of visitation? Is it the day people see what we have been doing? Is it the day we all stand before God in judgment? Is it the day Holy Spirit visits them with conviction and our behavior bears testimony to God’s grace? Is it the day we are in a situation that could destroy us but our good reputation with outsiders protects us?
Whatever the Day of Visitation means, we know our conduct must always be honorable among unbelievers. Because it is the nature of people to speak evil against God’s children, it is important that our behavior is always guided by God’s divine principles.
