Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does. – Unknown #BeBetterQuotes #BetterQuotes #DoBetterQuotes #DoingBetterQuotes #GoodPersonQuotes
In Ephesians we find that light (religious truth) is described as very powerful as it is able to make dead things living just by shining on them.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”(Ephesians 5:13-14, ESV)
However, this is no direct quote of any biblical passage, so I imagine Paul simply puts it in his own words to apply it to the context. But what is ‘it’; what scripture is he paraphrasing here which fully suits the context? Why is it an appropriate verse to quote in this context?

Lie from the pit of Hell. It’s your belief and confession that determines what you do and whom you become.

Your beliefs CAN make you a better person. Your behavior does make you better here on this Earth.

Our behaviour reflects our beliefs. That’s why it’s so easy to tell what someone REALLY believes, regardless of what they may say with their lips. Just watch the way they live!

Totally agree. And actions do speak louder than words. Lets have all of our behaviours glorify the Lord!

This post is a rubbish sentiment – worldly and spiritually unsound. All our self righteousness is like a used menstrual cloth to God. Only Christ’s righteousness counts for anything. Our role as Christians is to point people to Christ. We are merely witnesses to HIS work.
