Action

I read in a Billy Graham book recently that what attracted people to Jesus was not what he DIDN'T do but what He DID do, and that's so true...

So often, people think that being a Christian is all about the things you don't do, when really it should be what we DO that sets us apart from the world. Following Jesus' example should be what we strive for, and that means living out our faith; it means taking action; it means loving, serving, and giving to others.

If you read through the New Testament, you'll find that one of the main themes is loving others. Love is a verb. Without action, it means nothing. Just like it says in James, faith without works is dead.  Without action, our faith is useless. 

We weren't put here on earth just to live for our own pleasure and happiness...but to live for God, to glorify Him, and following in the footsteps of Jesus is how we do that. He set the ultimate example by setting aside His crown and coming down to earth from Heaven to become a servant, to give  up His life for US. Now that is LOVE.

"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you." -John 13:14-15
