We are known through three basic things.
1. We are known by what we say. Our words have impact.
2. We are known by what we do, does our actions speak our words.
3. We are known by the things we love. What is our passion. If following Christ is our passion, then our lives will reflect what we say and do.
St. Peter writes, “Now who is going to harm you if you are enthusiastic for what is good? But even if you should suffer because of righteousness, blessed are you. Do not be afraid or terrified with fear of them, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that be the will of God, than for doing evil” (1 Peter 3:13-17).
