1 Timothy 4:15-16
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.
15 Give your complete attention to these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.
The actions of a believer in Jesus Christ have a far greater impact on others than what the believer has to say. If you fail to play by the rules, you will lose the respect of those around you. It won’t matter how good a game you talk.
We must integrate Christian principles into the fabric of every aspect of our lives. Having done so, we should make progress in living out those principles every day. That may be easier on bright days but the real test comes when clouds roll in … when darkness invades. “Stay true to what is right…” no matter how difficult the situation.
