Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Scripture: 1 John

Sunday morning Robert Harkrider spoke to us from 1 John 1. "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" reminded us that it matters how we live as Christians. Gnostics of the first century had a wrong view of the body which resulted in a wrong view of living as a Christian. We must not make the same mistake.

Walking in the light involves confession of sin and repentance. One's heart must be humble. There is the purpose to obey every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Sin does not reign in the life of a Christian. The lifestyle of a child of God is one of light, not darkness. Sin is not practiced, it is regretted, confessed, and repented of from the depth of one's heart. The believer has security as he walks with the Savior. As long as we walk with Him we have the assurance of Heaven!

Thanks to Robert Harkrider for reminding us that it matters how we live in Christ!
