Believers Are Doers, Not Hearers

Below is the reflections on the bulletins of CORC....

As believers, we place great importance in God’s Word and keep His commandments close to our hearts. In our faith, we speak often to God in words, which come from deep within our souls.

However, our words amount to nothing if we do not live by them or if we do not follow God’s will in our daily living. It is easy to profess what we believe in, yet our actions are not always in line with our profession.

We are called to remain devoted and faithful to God’s Word in our lives. The Last Judgment account in Matthew 25 reminds us that it is our actual deeds of love that matter, not mere words.

Through our deeds, then we are a light to the world and messengers of Christ. We may not know that the people we know may be looking at us for some guidance or direction as they know that we are Christians.

Hence, in Christian communities, believers are doers, not hearers. Let each one of us make his or her life a wonderful gift to our Almighty Father.
