As followers of Jesus, we have a calling to share His light with others.  We can do this by following His example and His word.

Be a light: You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

Be kind: Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.   Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  (Ephesians 4:31-32)

Be compassionate: Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)

Be accountable: Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:16)

Be challenging: Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1)

Be Christlike: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.  The old has gone, the new is here!  (2 Corinthians 5:17)
