Romans
1:8 First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because your faith
is proclaimed in all the world.
Words
are cheap. They come easy, some even have silver tongues that pretty words just
drip from. Many don’t mean what they say. Even believers will paint their
lives, actions, and beliefs with a better picture than what is truth. We can
tell others how much we love God; how much we serve Him, but the truth is
somewhat dimmer. This we know. We know that our actions speak with greater
truth than our words. Our actions show that we love and serve Him. Our actions
show that what we do is for Him and not just for accolades. The life of the
Roman believer would have had no room for pretty words. It was not an easy
life. Yet, their faith was renowned in all the world. We are probably lucky if
our neighbors know of our love and devotion to God.
