If we outwardly express the rightousness of our hearts, we shall be added unto. Refering to Apollos, in Acts 18:24-26.
Here we have a man that is truely doing the very best that he knows, he is teaching the gospel. Only knowing of the baptism of John. Now when Aquila and Priscilla that knew more of the gospel expounded unto him more, he accepted the truth, believed, and not just believed but knew that what they spoke was true.
He was humble and sensitive to the spirit, he was a teacher but not afraid to be taught, he stood immoveable in truth but allowed himself to be lifted to a higher truth and knowledge. He felt the Holy Ghost bear truth to his soul, because he allowed it to do so.
So what I would like to draw from this is.....
Living the gospel is not a stagnant thing, a thing of meaningless motions, but more a beautiful, deep inner dance with not just those around us but more importantly the Holy Ghost who leads us in the ways of hope truth and light, of which leads to greater and greater love and peace till only ourselves stop us.

I think that another great way to "outwardly express the rightousness of our hearts" is by paying tithing and we know that we will have the windows of heaven opened unto us.
