Actions speak louder than words

1 John 3 says this, Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
How often do we pay lip service to God? How often do we tell someone we care, but our actions don't show that? When we tell others how we feel about them its great, but we need to show them with the things we do. It's so easy for us to say something and do something else, but as Christians our actions should show others Jesus.

If we are proclaiming to be Christians but then treating others in a manner less than Christian, how is that going to witness the love of Christ into their lives. We need to be talking the talk and walking the walk if we want to see others come to know the Lord and so enter the Kingdom.
Jesus was the same all the time, in fact it says in Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.  He loved everyone the same, always behaved as He should, so that's what we need to be doing. We need to imitate Jesus in such a way that we show His light to the people we meet. We need to show others Jesus, not just by the way we talk but by the way we love one another and by the way we love them. Let's make sure that our actions speak just as loud as our words.
