Showing the truth by our actions takes You to be a person of action not of mere words. We love people in our life. We love our spouse, children , family , friends. But how do we prove that we love them whole heartedly. How do we prove that we love them with love of the Lord, we hear lot of us telling to all our precious people that we love them. Do not love in theory or in speech . Well, how do we show it to them that we are really walking in the truth ( the WORD of GOD ) that tells us to walk in love with each other? – All through our ACTIONS.
Love should not only be words and talk but acted upon! Love talk becomes real when actions are added to it! Real Love is Love in action! Love words without action are empty words. Lets not talk about love , lets practice real love.
How do I prove that I love to walk in love ?
• Through my actions
• Through my deeds
• Through my practice
• Through my sincerity
• Through the things I do
Why are actions so important ?
• Because actions show that we belong to the truth, we belong to the way of truth
• Because actions perceive, recognize, and make us understand that we are of the Truth
• Because actions reassure that we belong to God , that we remain in Him.
• Because actions is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality
• Because actions helps us defeat the self
Lot of times it doesn’t feel good to walk in love , to show love in actions. Sometimes we are condemned by our flesh, tempted by the flesh, feelings of heart hurt, sometimes we may also feel guilty .. Is there a way to overcomes these feelings?
What if it doesn’t feel good to you to show your love in actions?
• Always remember that serving God is greater than your feelings because God is greater than your feelings
• Always remember that when you choose to show love in action – you are proving to remain with God and in God.!
Is there someone who showed love in action?
• Jesus – He gave up His life for us to show He really loves us. If I look at Him and seek His help – it becomes easy for me to walk in love
Prayer 🙏🏻
Father in Jesus Name, thank you Lord for helping to demonstrate your Love in action today in Jesus Name Amen.
Bible references:
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.”
1 John 3:18-20 NLT
“Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity). By this we shall come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we are of the Truth, and can reassure (quiet, conciliate, and pacify) our hearts in His presence,”
1 John 3:18-19 AMPC
“This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts in God’s presence. Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.
The person who keeps his commandments remains in God and God remains in him; and this is how we know that he remains in us, because of the Spirit that he has given to us.”
1 John 3:19-20, 24 CEB
“This is how we know what real love is: Jesus gave his life for us. So we should give our lives for each other as brothers and sisters.
My children, our love should not be only words and talk. No, our love must be real. We must show our love by the things we do. That’s how we know we belong to the way of truth. And when our hearts make us feel guilty, we can still have peace before God, because God is greater than our hearts. He knows everything.”
1 John 3:16, 18-20 ERV
“Dear children, we must show love through actions that are sincere, not through empty words. This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be reassured in his presence.”
1 John 3:18-19 GW
“My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.”
1 John 3:18-20 MSG
“Beloved children, our love can’t be an abstract theory we only talk about, but a way of life demonstrated through our loving deeds. We know that the truth lives within us because we demonstrate love in action, which will reassure our hearts in his presence.”
1 John 3:18-19 TPT

Really beautifully put, and the actions element is so important. This made me think of a quote by Emerson:
“What you do speaks so loud, I cannot hear a word you say”
^I probably butchered that, but hopefully you get the idea!
Thanks for sharing.
