A higher quality conduct is expected of us. We are to show others the goodness of God, our conducts should be different for we are Gods show piece. As soldiers of christ, we must not runaway from tribulations, we must stand to face them. We as christians should live our lives as christians. By the holyspirit of God,Our conduct is meant to be different. We need not be afraid, fear can take us to hell. DARKNESS - 1 Peter 2:9 We must remember where we came from. Before we knew christ, life was not pleasant and in whatever we do we must remember not to do things that will take us back to that horrible place. A place filled with darkness, torture and evil.

Most times, curses leads one to darkness Deutronomy 28 * Disobedience - (Exodus 14:20) - This is a leadway to darkness. It is possible in a place for some to be in darknes and some in light. We must not allow the people in darkness take us away from our light or bring darkness into our life. 1 John 1:5 God is light and there is no darkness in him at all.
