Actions > Words
"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister." ~ 1 John 4:20-21
So many times we fall for the okie doke and trust people based off of what they say.
But I'm here to tell you that a person's actions reveal much more than their words can.
It's a biblical principle that John tries to teach us in 1 John 4.
How can we say we're a Christian and that we love Jesus if we're not showing love to our fellow man?
How can we claim to represent Him and we're not doing what he commanded us (John 14:23)?
Actions over words. All day, every day.
God bless,
J.W.
