Faith and Work: James: 2:14-24
faith and work are evidence of your faith in Christ.
What good is your faith if you don't do anything with it?
Faith should reflect Christ and point people to Christ.
Christ didn't sit and wait, but went where the needs were. (Where are you going this upcoming week? Do those people need the Lord's saving grace where you are going?)
James 2:18: You have saving faith - do something with it.
James 2:19: The devil cannot do any works that glorify God.
James 2:20: Do I need to show you what to do? (Chris set the example a long time ago for us.)
James 2:21: Abraham was saved through grace along, but was made right before God by his works when he sold everything he had.
Stay away from things that take time away from God.
James 2:22: If you have faith - let God see your works.
To be complete, you have to let your faith go to work and go outside your comfort zone.
James 2:23: Abraham trusted God and accepted Him. He became complete and glorified God.
The devil believes what you believe. YOU AND I NEED to glorify God.
James 2:24: It's by the works that completes me and glorifies me.
**Remember that actions speak louder than words."
Be DOERS of the word! Get some extra bible tracts this week to pass out during spring break! Let's get the best news of all out in the hands of others!
Don't make any assumptions - just pass out tracts and leave the rest up to our perfect heavenly Father!
