in describing our beliefs, our actions are far better descriptors than our words. yet far too many of us spend more energy talking about our beliefs than living by them-with predictably poor results.
as believers, we must beware: our actions should always give credence to the changes that Christ can make in the lives of those who walk with HIM.
your beliefs shape your values, and your values shape your life. is our life a clearly-crafted picture book of your creed? are your actions always consistent with your beliefs? are you willing to practice the philosophies that you preach? hopefully so; otherwise, you'll be tormented by inconsistencies between your beliefs and your behaviors.
if you'd like to partake in the peace that only God can give, make certain that your actions are guided by HIS word. and while you're at it, pay careful attention to the conscience that God, in HIS infinite wisdom, has placed in your heart. don't treat your faith as if it were separate from your everyday life. weave your beliefs into the very fabric of your day. when you do, God will honor your good works, and your good works will honor God.
if you seek to be a responsible believer, you must realize that it is never enough to hear the instructions of God; you must also live by them. and it is never enough to wait idly by while others do God's work here on earth; you, too, must act. doing God's work is a responsibility that every christian (including you and me) should bear. and when you do, your loving Father in Heaven will reward your efforts with a bountiful harvest. Good day !!!
