You live in deeds
Jesus said,
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven Matthew 5:13-16.
Notice here Jesus says, “let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven”.
As Christians, believers in Christ Jesus, we are called to love in word and deed. For it is only by showing love, in deed as well as in our words, not only toward our friends and neighbours but even to our enemy and our persecutors, that we can be effective witnesses for Christ Jesus.
The world is watching anyone who claims to be a Christian. And, the world quite often does not hear our words. They do however see our deeds.

Please think about it.
