The Conduct of a Believer

You may talk the talk, but do you walk the walk?

That question often comes to mind when I consider the way believers are suppose to act.  It's been said that Christians are among the most judgmental people on earth; and that may be true.

It is sad, but true.  We talk the talk - "Love your neighbor" - but how many of us will go out of our way to help those in need?

Unfortunately, we judge people based on what we gain from the relationship.  Now consider this, what if God treated us the way we treat others.  Would you receive mercy?  Would His grace rain down on you?  Would His gift of salvation be free?

The Conduct of a Believer is to be based on God's actions toward us.  He withheld the consequences of our sin to provide us the opportunity to turn to Him.  He poured out His grace so that our cup overflows.  "He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life." [John 3:16].

So does your conduct reflect the Savior?
