Seeing . . . not hearing . . . is believing!

But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? (James 2:18-20)

We have all heard it said,"Seeing is believing." This is true as far as faith is concerned as well. There must be evidence of our faith in Jesus Christ. If we truly believe He has died for us and rose from the dead so we have an eternal relationship with Him, then surely it must show!

When people join a club, a team, a fraternity or sorority . . . people tend to identify themselves with a shirt, hat or some physical sign . . . even perhaps a bumper sticker or window decal. Fans of sports teams wear the jerseys of their favorite teams and fly banners and display other items publicly. 

So we as born again CHRISTians are also expected to show signs of our faith! In fact, we are commissioned to "go and make disciples of all nations"! (Matthew 28:18-20) This is our pledge if you would! Our identifying marker is our lifestyle . . . how we live!

What/Who do others see in us?
