Hello Precious One! It’s always my great honor and overflowing joy to write to you!
Let’s take a look at James 2:14-18 from the Message Bible:
14-17 Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, “Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!” and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?
18 I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.”
Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.
Let’s purpose in our hearts today to put our faith into action, because faith expresses itself in works. They are works of faith! Our faith requires action!
Walking in the Word,
Your sister in Christ,
Lisa Gordon
