Your life would prove your words! What or who you love shows who you are!
If you love the things of the world, then you do not love God.
If you love the things of God, then you love Him.
1 John 2:14-16 "14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…"
If your life does not match your words then you are a liar. If your words match your life, then you speak the truth. One who lives righteously will never have to tell anyone they do.
Those who have to constantly remind others of their "righteousness", usually based on the things they say they must "do", then perhaps they are not as righteous as they would like everyone to believe.
Matthew 5:15-16 "…15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
