Christianity is the out-living of the indwelling Christ; it is a way of life, so all we are doing as Christians is to live out Christ in our talk and walk. You don’t just proclaim that you are a Christian but live it out because people want to see true examples of Christ and be changed. People must look at us and see Christ.

Eric Nyamekye (* 1965) ist ein ghanaischer Theologe und seit 2018 Gesamtvorsitzender der Church of Pentecost, einer der größten pfingstlichen Denominationen Westafrikas. Er steht für eine ganzheitliche gesellschaftliche Transformation durch engagierte Laien, geriet jedoch durch seinen vehementen Einsatz für restriktive Anti-LGBTQ+-Gesetze in Ghana in die Kritik von Menschenrechtsgruppen. Bibellesern begegnet er als einflussreiche Stimme des afrikanischen Christentums, der biblische Grundwerte und ethische Integrität im alltäglichen Berufs- und Lebensumfeld betont.
