đź“– "The good or bad that children do shows what they are like." -Proverbs 20:11 Contemporary English Version
One fairly popular quote in our society is “Actions speak louder than words.” Perhaps you’ve heard it. A person can say all day that they are a Christian, but what do their actions say? What statement is their behavior making? One cannot truly be born again and practice sin. Sinners practice sin because of their sin nature. They sin because their father is the devil. The sinner is only acting out what is on the inside of them. When we ask Jesus to be the Lord of our lives, we are born again. The sin nature is gone, and the nature of God is now on the inside of us. When there is a change in our nature, there should be a change in our behavior. People expect sinners to sin because they are sinners. Christians are supposed to act differently because we have a different nature. You won’t find apples growing on an orange tree. You won’t find peaches on a pear tree. The fruit of the tree determines what type of tree it is. The behavior of a person should reveal what’s on the inside of them. A good tree can only produce good. We must be ambassadors of the Lord Jesus Christ. If we are going to wear the badge of a Christian, then our lifestyle should match the badge.
