Christians should not be silent on social issues because of their size, their moral compass, and God's activity. They should not judge the lives of people who know, but gently criticize them while showing love and acceptance of Jesus. Social issues around the world touch many Christians personally. 'All these problems and many others concern both Christians and those without religious faith', about a third, '32% of the world's population is Christian. So Christians should take advantage of their numbers and take part in social issues that directly affect them or in issues that create "the awakening of the love of God that cannot be contained" within them. Hebrews 5:11 states, “for those who are mature, who through training have the ability to know the difference between right and wrong.” Christians are blessed with a moral compass. It is this compass that we should employ in our struggle to help others. Many people are not guided by this and do not want to help others who are suffering, but instead want to profit from it. Therefore, Christians should use their majority and their sense of right and wrong to help guide the rest of the world. This will, over time, create a more peaceful and loving environment for people to live in, instead of a society focused solely on profit. Like King David, in 2 Samuel 6:1-15 we must bring God into the cities. After seeing how Obededom was blessed with the Ark of the Covenant, David brought the Ark into the city so that others could receive its blessing. As Christians we are the modern new testament of a vessel that carries and contains the spirit of God in us. Christians are the Ark of God. Therefore Christians must spread the will of God on Earth.'Jesus does not sit back at ease, indifferent to the state of... medium of paper... eternal life, How Christians, our role in people's lives should be to live as an example and help others live up to God's highest standards. By recommending changes that people can make in their lives, but acting with tact, Christians they can remain a shining light, but also a useful one.
