Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
The things we do outwardly are an expression of our inward faith.
Everything we do in the natural is driven by what’s inside us. Our spiritual condition is displayed by our actions.
Sometimes we don’t like to think about this, but we get reminded every once in a while, when we catch ourselves doing or saying something that we know isn’t pleasing to God.
This can be a huge wakeup call for us.
As believers, there are many things that we can do to show our faith outwardly. Some of this involves the faith that we have in God. This is displayed by our level of trust in Him.
Our trust in Him will be displayed, or not displayed, by how we react to the situations and circumstances we encounter in our lives. The flesh will react by being fearful and anxious, whereas faith will react by looking to God and seeking answers from Him, patiently waiting, even when it may feel like the world is falling down around us.
When we act in faith, we may still have some fears, but we won’t let them rule us or cause us to run in fear from the things we face.
Our walk with God is also displayed outwardly by our character, our personal integrity, and our morals.
Do we stand strong in our morals, even when it means facing ridicule from others? Do we behave with integrity when nobody is watching us? These are great tests for us!
We can also display our faith in how we treat others. Do we love those around us, or do we treat them miserably? Do we help when we see a need, or do we pretend we didn’t see anything and keep on with what we were already doing?
None of us is perfect in any of these, and none of us ever will be. But as members of the body of Christ, it’s very important that we let God lead us by His Spirit each and every day, so the things we do will represent Him in a way that He finds pleasing.
