What Do Your Actions Say About Who You Are?
Read Luke 8
Today’s Truth
One day as Jesus was teaching to a large gathering of people, His mother and brothers tried to make their way through the crowd, but couldn't reach Him. When someone mentioned it, He simply responded, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice.”
Jesus' words don't leave room for ambiguity. The family of God does what the Word of God says. His people know and follow Scripture.
Discussion Questions
- What is the best way for you to hear clearly from Jesus?
- Is there a sin in your life He is asking you to repent of?
- What is one truth Jesus has taught you recently that He wants you to put into practice?
Application
Without Jesus, we'll still be known by our acts, but our conduct won't be pure or upright because our sinful nature prevents it. Repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus enables us to hear and to do, to be sons and daughters of God, to be reconciled to our Creator, and to be able to, “…offer [ourselves] to God as those who have been brought from death to life…[instruments] for righteousness"
