"In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, in order that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us."
Titus 2:7-8

The Apostle Paul tells Timothy,
".in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe." 1 Timothy 4:12

Scripture gives us the characteristics of the Believer's walk. (We have seen this in earlier messages so I will just give you the verses and let you refresh your memory.) The Believer walks:
In New life -- Romans 6:4
In Faith -- 2 Corinthians 5:7
Spiritually -- Galatians 5:16
In Consistency -- Ephesians 4:1
In Love -- Ephesians 5:2
Cautiously -- Ephesians 5:15
In Light -- 1 John 1:7
Then there is the characteristic of Christ-likeness as we see in
1 John 2:5-6,
".whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.
By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked."

We have in John 13 the example that Jesus gave His disciples at the time of His final discourse to them:
Jesus,
"Rose from supper, and laid aside His garments, and taking a towel, He girded Himself about. Vs. 4 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel which He was girded." Vs. 5 "And so when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments, and reclined at the table again, He said to them, 'Do you know what I have done to you?  Vs. 12 You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right for so I am. Vs. 13 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. Vs. 14 For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. Vs. 15 Truly, Truly, I say to you a slave is not greater than his master.'" Vs. 16 (Read Chapter 13:1-16)

By washing their feet, Jesus, the One who should have been honored, humbled Himself to the place of a servant to wash their feet. This is an act that the disciples should have preformed out of love one for an other. This is a mighty example for all Believers.

We also have Philippians 2:1-8, (Read it for the full impact), "But (Jesus) emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant."
(My parenthesis)

Our lives are to be the expression of Christ Jesus in this world. We see in
1 John 4:17,
".because as He is, so also are we in this world."

It has been said and it is true, our lives may be the only Bible a nonbeliever will ever read, therefore we must walk the walk or our talk is to no avail!

I close with a quote from St. Augustine, "Preach the gospel. If necessary, use words."

All praise to our Lord and Master! Amen
