"And he [the jailer] brought them out and said, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.' Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house."
Acts 16:30-31
The jailer had heard Paul and Silas praying and singing, so he knew that they believed in God. But his heart was opened to their message because their actions matched what they said. People are more apt to hear the word of the Lord from someone who not only talks their faith but also lives it. Words and actions together build confidence that the message is true. I need to demonstrate my faith – not just speak it. As James wrote, "Show me your faith, and I will show you my faith by my works" (James 2:18).
Today's Thought: What I say is either affirmed or denied by what I do.
Have an action day. Love you.
