The Christian life is to be a living illumination of Gods goodness received. A pithy real response that's says 'what God has done really matters'.
Reading through Titus recently, I've been particularly hit by the proclamation of grace through both a Christians words & life. It's the life bit that really brings it home - if you really believe it, you'll live it! Who we are as people is our message. If our faith is genuine, there is change.
Actions certainly speak loudly but they don't replace words. Words like "Christ has died for our sin" must still be spoken, but to ramp the volume up it must be matched with a real living response! This sharpens the receivers understanding of the gospel. Isn't that what we all need? A good sharpening!
This made me think about being watched. In this phase of life, I live lots of my life in my home... so as a Mum I need to be creative about intentionally making myself watchable, and putting myself in places to watch others. Not a task to be taken lightly!
Are your actions sharpening others understanding of the gospel?
How do you make yourself watchable?
