Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to progress from faith to actually living by it? You see, when faith is just a concept in the head and not a practice of the hand, we tend to discredit the fact that faith should move a person into action.
And when we don't realize that faith is actually a matter of action and not just of intuition, that it's a matter of practice and not just a hypothesis, that it is doctrine converting itself into discipline--when faith is not like this, then we will remain to be what other people label Christians as apathetic, or worse, delusional.
We don't want that. So it's now time to walk the talk. And though it couldn't be more true that what it already is, the Gospel gets more real when it gets into people being transformed in real life. When theology meets real life and the message is passed clearly that it's all about hope and the possibility of being new, that's when faith brings impact.
Faith is a verb. And in the Christian language, there's no such thing as passive verb.
