2026 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
There’s a reason people often say, “Actions speak louder than words.” Think about a friend who promises to always be there for you, but when the time comes, they fail to show up. Their words lose meaning because there’s no action to back them.
In many contexts in Scriptures, we see how God gave us the precedence of words and actions going together. For example, Genesis 2:7 tells us, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” He didn’t use words only in creating man.
The Apostle John, in 1 John 3:18, admonishes us, “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” It’s not enough to say, “I love the Lord,” or “I love people.”
Love is proven in action. It’s demonstrated. Even in thanksgiving, we don’t just say, “Thank you, Lord.” We show it. We lift our voices in worship, yes, but we also present offerings to the Lord, we serve, and we give of ourselves.
The Scriptures are replete with this principle: the Word must be backed by action for it to produce results in your life. In 1 Thessalonians 1:5, as read in the theme verse, we see that the Gospel didn’t come to the Christians in Thessalonica in word only but in power and in the Holy Ghost.
Our preaching must be accompanied by the power of the Holy Spirit. Likewise, James teaches us it’s the doer of the Word who is blessed, not the hearer only (James 1:22–25).
Even the Lord Jesus Himself rebuked those whose worship was only lip service, saying, “‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.” (Matthew 15:8 NKJV).
Words alone, without corresponding action, are insufficient in expressing our devotion to the Lord. It also reminds of what the Bible says about faith without works or corresponding action—it’s dead: “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26 NKJV).
