What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? James 2:14
Saying something doesn’t make it so. I was taught at a very young age that lip service was NOT man power. Never confuse the two. Faith falls under this sage wisdom. Verses 14-26 speaks explicitly to the subject of faith and works. I encourage you to read this passage, but for this verse, saying you believe is not the act in which you are saved and made Holy. It is in the action of that faith you find Jesus’ redeeming power!
Faith is the catalyst from which we respond to God. From faith we become who we are, less of ourselves and more like Him.
Words are cheap and just stir the air. Actions take sacrifice and change the world.
