Preach the gospel always, use words when necessary.

The saying in my title today has been with me for many years. I believe it means in a nutshell-
If we are talking the talk as a Christian then we need to be walking the walk as a Christian.
1 Timothy 4:12 says..."but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." Our life needs to show that we are a Christian without ever saying a word. There are many Christians today who say they are believers but prove otherwise Monday through Saturday. Do we not realize people are watching us on those days also; including our children and grandchildren?

As a believer, scripture teaches us to be a witness, to be an example of Christ and set the standard to lead others to Christ. Think on this...If we were the only Christian that a non-believer knew, what would they think and believe about Christians? About Jesus Christ?

Preach the gospel always, use words when necessary. 💗

Love in Christ,
Tera
