Obedience and imitators of God


— Titus 1:16 —
They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

Many people claim to know God. How can we know if they really do? We will not know for certain in this life, but a glance at their life-styles will quickly tell us what they value and whether they have ordered their lives around kingdom priorities. Our conduct speaks volumes about what we believe. 1 John 2:4-6 — "The man who says 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his Word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." What do people know about God and about your faith by watching your life?
