Read Ephesians 2:10 (https://bit.ly/2MgKP40)

All my life I have struggled with my weight. I have researched and gone through every program. And while I still retain the knowledge I learned, application remains a problem. No matter how hard I think about how to become healthier, results will not come until I put those thoughts into practice. The same is true for spirituality. Head knowledge doesn’t make you a Christian. When we’re only hearers of the word, we are deceived into thinking that learning God’s word by itself constitutes growth. This is an empty, dead faith – mere belief. This verse reminds us we need to move. God’s love for us was not just something He felt, it was something He showed. The cross is a picture of God’s love in action. God so loved the world that He gave! Real faith is demonstrated in real behavior. Following Jesus requires action. We grow through action!
