"You can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?" That the question we often ask of someone who makes bold statements or contends that they can do something that no one else has been able to do.
If you "talk the talk," you'd better be able to "walk the walk" is the message the Apostle Paul delivers to young pastor, Titus, in the letter that bears his name. Titus is to teach the elders of the church how to "walk the walk" in showing the love of God in word and deed. Titus is also to warn those who are only "mere talkers and deceivers" who "claim to know God, but they their actions, they deny Him."
We believers need to be on our guard too. Satan, who wrote the "deception playbook," is continually at work in order to lead us away from our Lord. The devil loves nothing better than to see us compromise our principles and follow the ways of the world that can look so good to our sinful nature.
How do we stand firm against the devil's crafty schemes? It's simple - faith in Christ Jesus and His victory over Satan at the cross and tomb is the strength that enables believers to keep from falling to temptation. St John writes: "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work." Since the devil is a defeated foe, let the Holy Spirit be your guide so you can "walk the walk and talk the talk" of the new life in Christ!
