Daily Devotion: 1 John 3:18

“My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.”

We are being watched, friends and NOT by the CIA. We are being watched by the people of the world. Those who yet have to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Ask yourself: “What does the world see when they look at me?” With your mouth you confess that you are God’s child, that you have faith, but do your actions support your words?

James 1:22: “Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice.”

It is not enough that you can recite chapter and verse from scripture like the Pharisees of old or that you are seen praying at the drop of a hat. It is not enough that you point out to sinners the things they do wrong according to the Word of God; it is not enough that you talk to others about being saved. Your life must be your silent testimony. People should not wait for you to speak; they must know by sight that you are different.

One would do well to remember that the Bible is like an instruction manual on how to live a Christian life. If you are unsure on how to react, take a look in the Book.

Are you wondering whether you are living a righteous life? Is your life really following the path God wants you to go? John has the answer:

1 John 3:19-21: “This, then, is how we will know that we belong to the truth; this is how we will be confident in God’s presence. If our conscience condemns us, we know that God is greater than our conscience and that he knows everything. And so, my dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us, we have courage in God’s presence.”

In other words, listen to your heart! You know the difference between right and wrong. Make wise choices, befitting to a person calling him or herself a child of God.
