Or use words when necessary.
God uses people.
And He wants to use each one of us to spread His word.
Mark 16:15 AMP
And He said to them,
Go into all the world and preach and publish
openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature
(of the whole human race).
A quote attributed but not verified by Francis Assisi is:
Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.
Well, we do need to use words to share to the Gospel of Christ
and we need to know God's word to do this accurately.
However,
how we live our lives is an example to others.
Are we outwardly showing others the love of God?
Or do we live one way at church and another at home?
Jesus gives a principal commandment,
"Love each other in the same way I have loved you,"
John 15:12 NIV
He was the same in private as He was in public.
Jesus didn't walk on the other side of the street
to avoid the downtrodden.
He met them face to face and loved them.
We must combine our words with our actions
and in both reflect Jesus.
