Shown by deeds

Shown by deeds
The apostle Paul said,
“...I preached that they should repent and turn to God
 and prove their repentance by their deeds.”
                                                              Acts 26:20b.
If you claim to be a Christian, a follower of Christ Jesus do your deeds prove your repentance? Do your deeds tell others the Love of God dwells in you? OR do people only see someone who calls themselves a Christian?
The apostle Paul wrote,
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1Corinthians 13:1. 
Are you a “resounding gong or a clanging cymbal”?
The apostle Paul writing to Timothy states,
“Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” 2 Timothy 2:22.
If you claim to be a Christian, a follower of Christ Jesus do you “flee evil desires?”
Do you “pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace?”
Are you following the admonition of the apostle Paul when he said,
"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."Romans 12:18.
Francis of Assisi said,
"The deeds you do 
may be the only sermon some persons will hear today" 
                                                                                Francis of Assisi.
So the question becomes; Do your deeds show that you are a true follower of Christ Jesus?
Please think about it.
