"And all the people saw him walking and praising God."
The words (above) are a reference to the man who was lame from birth, whom God healed through the ministry of Peter and John. The point I want to make is this: his new life (of walking) was both seen by a lot of people, and it led to a gracious attitude of praise to God.
May the same be said of all of us, who have also received new life, and who are now no longer under sin, damnation, and the law. The liberated churchman's countenance ought to witness to the world that we have a very good and great Savior; and that others ought to get to know Him, too.
