Show Them With Your Life

I’m sure you have heard the phrase ‘actions speak louder than words.’ I couldn’t have learned this more than when I got married. There have been times when my wife has asked me to do something around the house, but I failed to get it done. When she would come home expecting it done I would say, “But I love you baby,” and she would lovingly respond, “show me.” Talk about being hit with a ton of bricks!

It’s the same thing with our faith. You let me look at someone’s life for 1 day & I will be able to tell you what he or she believes. 

Words are powerful, but they are also 

easily manipulated; lifestyle does not lie. 

As Christians our lives have to go beyond the talk of Christianity to Spirit-empowered, Christ-like lifestyle. Don’t only verbally tell people God loves them; show them with your life. Don’t only verbally tell people that God is good no matter what situation you are going through; show them with your life.

You see, it’s not that people don’t want God; it’s that people don’t want other people who say they follow Jesus, but their lives look nothing like His. God is raising up sons & daughters who not only tell people about Him, but who show people what He looks like; they do this by living in such a way that the truth, power, & love of God are clearly evident in their lives. 

Jesus told the disciples, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father,” (John 14:9). You may be telling people you believe in the Father, but what is your life showing them? They want what the Father has, what the Father has placed inside of you. Don’t just tell them, but show them with your life that what is in you is available to them too.
