A lot of people call themselves 'Christians', but their actions suggest that they are not. We live as if we don't believe what we say. What are we as 'Christians' teaching the world by our actions?
"They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Titus 1:16
Eventually, the 'works' of those, who claim to know The Lord with their 'words,' will betray them and reveal that they are actually unbelievers. When your 'words' and your 'works' are inconsistent, you are not a true believer in Jesus Christ.
By posing as Christians, where our practice does not match our profession, we disqualify ourselves from any good work for Christ.
If we are Christian, then we ought to talk like one, act like one, and live like one. Talk alone is cheap. "Actions can speak louder than words." (Unknown) To say one thing, and then to act in such a way that is the exact opposite, is to deny what you say.
None of us do this perfectly, but our works should be consistent with our words. To say that we are Christian, and to never act like one, is to deny that Christ is in our lives. The right doctrine leads to the right behavior.
