“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” – Philippians 1:21 KJV

Christians aren’t called to draw attention to themselves, but to put the spotlight on Jesus Christ, and thus testify of His wonderful works.

Ungodly people aspire to gain a following for the sake of enlarging themselves. They are gluttons for praise and attention, desiring to be looked up to and admired by men. Such people may talk about Jesus, but they don’t do it for the sheer joy of knowing Him; rather, they merely seek to use His name as a means to materialize the lusts of their flesh.

But the godly live honorably and responsibly. They aren’t hungry for personal gain, but find pleasure in giving. Thus, they testify of the works of Jesus Christ, not only with their words, but in their actions. Hence their lives are reflective of the love of Christ, and they give God all the glory for the good that is accomplished in them.
