Becoming holy is more than religious talk!

Many people can talk religious talk and sound really good doing it. We have all heard the saying talk is cheap! Actions prove the talk and it is the same in sanctification (growing in holiness)! Look at this verse:

1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

We can say we love but until we prove in action we love it is useless! Being able to love others even our enemies as God tells us to is a sure sign of growing to be more like Christ for He is LOVE! So let us not be like this:

Matthew 15:8 “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;

but like this:

James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Actions show you are becoming more like Jesus not empty words!
