A good example has more value than good advice

Alyssa, who is 6 and just learning to read, often saw her parents and grandparents reading their Bibles in the morning. Early one day, she woke up before everyone else. Grandma found her sitting on the couch, with her Bible and a devotional booklet on her lap. She wanted to follow the example of spending time with God at the beginning of the day.

Timothy, a young pastor, faced heavy responsibilities in the church at Ephesusâ€"training believers, leading in worship, countering false doctrine. The older, experienced apostle Paul gave him instruction on leading the church in these areas, but he also mentioned the importance of personal conduct. He said, “Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1 Tim. 4:12).

Paul challenged Timothy: “Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine” (v.16). If he paid attention to his own spiritual life and to solid doctrine, he would be a godly example to the church family.

We all have others who are observing us. Even little Alyssa has younger siblings watching her. Let’s live our lives in such a way that those who follow our example will help others in their walk with God.  â€" Anne Cetas - Our Daily Bread

Absolutely!

1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Action speaks louder than words...
Just the same di ba?

[Lorenzo]

Absolutely correct, Epin.

The LORD GOD declares:

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
--Matthew 5:16

So, that said, everyone, brothers and sisters, Shine Your Light. Your good deeds glorifies THE LORD GOD who is in Heaven.

To act according to what one has professes to be
   Talk is cheap; need to talk and walk to prove it

The people look at the outside appearance but
  the Lord look at the heart.
