I am amazed how many of us have reduced our christianity to a set of beliefs! We say the most important thing is "truth" and what one "believes". I am not saying that belief is not the most important thing. I believe scripture would confirm this. What I am saying is that belief shapes our behavior!
Paul argues continuously that "good works" result from one's accurate belief. If what we believe about Jesus is not causing us to live in obedience to Him, then our belief is flawed! Paul writes, "good works are obvious, and those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden." In other words, people live what they believe. Their belief becomes obvious through the activity of their lives.
Demonstrate what you believe today through your works.
