Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
An old maxim simply says: Actions speak louder than words. In business, we are measured by our actions aligning with our attitude and answers. Most business professionals will be familiar with DWYSYD and other adages that amount to being a person of your word. Even Christian author and consultant, Steve Marr who has written of integrity in his book Integrity in the Workplace can clearly share and show the Christian's need to be guided by the Word of the Lord with verses such as Proverbs 11:3. We need to be about the Father's business as we carry out His business with pride and professionalism.
Simply put, our claim of Jesus as our Lord should make a difference in our daily walk. Another perspective would be to simply ask if we are practicing what we preach. Is our daily walk matching up with our talk? Are you a doer of the Word? Does your fruit tell people who you are and what you are about?
If you want to test the talk, examine a person's walk...
- But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD (Gen. 6:8)
- This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil (Job 1:1)
- And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just (Luke 23:50)
- Joseph being a righteous man... (Matt. 1:19)
Does your walk match your talk?
