Have you ever wondered the meaning of "preaching without words", or "preaching by example"; really, it's something very simple, it's about being consistent with what you believe in, and not doing anything that contradicts your convictions. Easy to say but will it be just as easy to do?

Jesus always accompanied his words with deeds, through:
Perform miracles, "And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not let the demons speak, because they knew him." (Mark 1:34)
source
Sharing with sinners (but not participating in sin), "When they saw this, they all murmured, saying that he had come to pose with a sinful man." (Luke 19: 4)
Serve his own, "Then he put water in a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded." (John 13: 5)

Our personal testimony, our behavior with others, is a powerful way to show others and teach about our faith; letting others see Jesus through us is one of the best ways to allow the gospel to be preached in our midst. The preaching is not limited to just a few hours a week, when we are in church, or in the company of the brothers going out to evangelize. But when we are in our daily chores, at work, at school, with our family and non-believing friends.
When you allow others to know the Lord through you, then that is when the impact of the gospel reaches your environment; but more than by what you say, by what you do, by how you behave, if your life is really under the direction of what Jesus teaches us through the gospels, and the Holy Spirit; and if your facts do not contradict the gospel. Paul exhorted Timothy as follows:
"Be diligent to present yourself to God approved, as a worker who does not need to be ashamed," (2 Timothy 2:15).
Today is our opportunity to sow in people more than words, we can sow small and beautiful seeds with our testimony, and our behavior too. On this day, try to ask the Lord to help you so that your deeds and words always go in the same direction, so that your actions do not contradict the gospel, and always present you accept before our Lord.
It is better to sow in people more than words, we can sow small and beautiful seeds with our testimony, and our behavior too...... and let our lives preach and drag people to Christ.

This is a true talk @katiusca "Today is our opportunity to sow in people more than words, we can sow small and beautiful seeds with our testimony, and our behavior too. On this day, try to ask the Lord to help you so that your deeds and words always go in the same direction, so that your actions do not contradict the gospel, and always present you accept before our Lord
Thus it is with our testimony that we can help others by giving an example of a good son of God and that we can be approved before his presence. greetings blessings. @bigssam
We have too many people in the church that they don't like giving testimony, some have the fear of facing the crowd and some have the African mentality that when share What God has done in their life people with power will stop it, as a Christian we need to stop thinking like this because When you allow others to know the Lord through you, then that is when the impact of the gospel reaches your environment.. great post
This is how to witness help in the spiritual growth of others. As we have come to share our testimony that we are as Jesus came into our lives, we can impact the lives of those around us with great love.
If God has been so good for you, testify and announce his grace upon your life. This Testimony will serve as a point of contact to others whose faith need to strengthened. Let us endeavour.
Amen. so is. Greetings blessings.
Preaching without words is preaching with godly actions. Our behaviours speak even when we are silent.
Yes behaviour is important:
Let's show the world godly ones.
Thanks, steem on
Very true.
Our actions and testimony can inspire people to christ without us knowing how. Our lives should constantly speak of the goodness of God in it.
This might just be what a specific person needs to change for good.
amen asi is .. God bless you
Jesus once told his disciples, that's he's come go preach the gospel to the lost people, and tbxf entails the gentiles he didn't look at their sins, he looked at the fact that he was going to preach God's words to them.
That's why we must help people, regardless of if they are sinners or not.
This is an amazing message
that is right, brother. God wants us to witness more of great and great love regardless of whether or not we are sinners. greetings blessings.
