The problem I see in our day is that people are so easily swayed by words alone. I have been told many things out of the mouths of people who had no intention of living up to their words. They simply said what would get them praise, it didn't have to be actually acted out. In fact, I have seen so much of this over my 64 years of life, that I place no confidence at all in what anyone says.
I watch lives, if the lives match the language, then I pray and ask for discernment. If Christ had said, "all you have to do is believe in me" without going to the cross, His words would not have had meaning. But because He taught us to believe in Him by His sacrifice, then we know His words have power and meaning.
