In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
I John 3:10 NKJV
We think of our actions, our behavior, as either qualifying or disqualifying us. If I do good things, I’m in. If I sin I’m disqualified and thrown out.
My actions don’t qualify or disqualify me. My actions reveal my heart. My actions show whether I belong to God or not. If I love God, like to hang around Him and listen intently to what He says, then I will naturally be more ‘godly’. It’s a natural outcome.
Father, Make me more like You, I pray.
