Mat 5:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16 : Jesus says, Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven . This means people should notice the good things Christians do and be moved to praise God because of them (Philippians 4:8; 1 Peter 4:11 ). The goal is not to show off, but to help others see the truth and power of God’s grace. When people see real Christian living, it can help them understand and love God too. Good examples can teach and even change hearts.
