I am always wary of advocating anything like 'works' in our Christian lifestyle, because we are certainly NOT saved by what we can do - it is all thanks to the Grace of God. However, when you read the above quote, it does speak a lot of truth into how we should be 'revealing' our Christian lives. If I claim to have turned from my old life (Repentance), yet I am showing no evidence of a NEW life, then surely there is something wrong?
Jesus said the same thing in Matthew 7:20
"Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions."
Is there Evidence of our NEW life in Christ? If not, then perhaps we haven't quite turned from our old lives as yet?
