Acts 26:20(b) “…..and then to the Gentiles that they should repent, turn to God and do works befitting repentance”.

Paul the apostle in his chain was totally committed to his call to spread the gospel and establish churches throughout the known world.

He lived what he wrote that “for me to live is Christ, to die is gain” (Phil 1:21).

Works befitting repentance indicates that a true relationship with God will result in a Godly life-style. We are not saved by our own good works but salvation by grace will certainly change us.

As Christians, we are expected to live like Christians. Our conducts, responses has to befit repentance. Paul said in 1 Cor 11:1 “imitate me just as I imitate Christ”. Phil 1:27 also says “let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ”.

Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can be Christ-like and true representatives of Him. Asking God to help us to be like Jesus in our conducts, speech, thoughts should be part of our daily prayers.
