Power Living is key to maximizing your life. You have a role to play in the way people see you. Don't leave your life to chance, become proactive. Stop being a conformist. Wake up to life.
Pastor Chris puts it in his words he titled "The Purity of a Christian", in it he says: As a child of God, it’s important that you always exude the excellence and righteousness of God that’s in your spirit. It should be easy for anyone to look at your life and tell that you’re a Christian. In the context of our opening scripture, "godliness" doesn’t refer to the righteousness which is in your heart, but to what you do that can be seen outwardly; it means piety.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness (2 Peter 1:5-6).
There must be some piousness expressed in your behaviour, attitude, language, way of thinking, and way of doing things. There must be some discipline in your life, and in your communication. Never use vulgar or unwholesome words; have a clean language. The Christian has what is called "purity"; there’s the purity of a Christian, which should radiate through you. There’s some spirituality about a real Christian. It’s something that distinguishes you, because you’re not of this world.
You’re separated unto God, unto the life of righteousness. There should be some "calmness" in your life; there should be a way you carry yourself. There should be no roughness about you. There’re places you shouldn’t be found in, and things you shouldn’t do or say.
Use the Word to check yourself always, to get rid of any wrong stuff in your life. Keep bringing forth fruits that are consistent with your life and nature of righteousness: "Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart]" (Matthew 3:8 AMP).
Romans 6:1-4 KJV "[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? [2] God forbid..."
