Tt1

"They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works." These are strong words from the apostle Paul.

My experience is that these words are as true today as they were back in the first century. There are plenty of people who would call themselves "christian", but precious few who actually follow Jesus.

Notice the words Paul used to describe his "following" of Jesus. He said he was a "slave of God"! He is not describing an abusive, overbearing relationship, but rather a total submission to the One True God. God does not exist to make his life better. He exist to obey God.

Faith is believing the truth about Jesus. True faith is walking in obedience to His Lordship. Actions either confirm or deny our words.
