Asimov quote

I found this quote from the writer Isaac Asimov. He made no profession of faith, and I can assume a level of frustration about the way Christians live from this quote~In his last volume of autobiography, Asimov wrote, "If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul."

Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father except through me." Salvation comes through Christ alone, not by our works( Ephesians 2:18). But Asimov's words challenge me to make my words match my deeds so that my actions won't keep people from seeking my faith. What do you think about Asimov’s words?
