Whatever you believe should be and will be apparent by how you do things in your day to day life. If you truly believe in something, it changes the way you arrange your life: what you spend your money on, what you spend your time on, how you do your daily tasks, the kind of entertainment you enjoy, where you go, and why you do or don’t do things.
If you really believe in Jesus, you will follow His example. If you really believe in Jesus, you will seek to know more about Him and become more like Him. If you really believe in Jesus, you will want to talk with Him. If you really believe in Jesus, you will tell people about what He has done. If you really believe in Jesus, the way you work will be exemplary. If you really believe in Jesus, your money will go to the right places and things. If you really believe in Jesus, your time will go to the right places and things. If you really believe in Jesus, you will go to the right places and things. If you really believe in Jesus, you will be generous and give your money and even your time to those who need to see Jesus’ generosity and love. If you really believe in Jesus, you will walk, talk, and breathe like it. If you really believe in Jesus, you will be very different from the rest of the world. Do we sometimes fall short? Yes, but that doesn’t mean we don’t keep shooting for the target.
