” What good is it dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? ” James 2:14
” So you see, we are shown to be right with God by what we do, not by faith alone.” James 2:24
” Just as the body is dead without breath, so also is faith dead without good works.” James 2:26
Faith is an important part of our life. Without it we are helpless as Christians. It is by faith that we believe there really is a God in heaven. It is with faith that we believe our God will pick us up when we fall and put us back on the right path. It is by faith that we believe our God is able to perform miracles in our lives and healings that heal the blind and crippled. It is by faith we believe that our sins are forgiven, and we are restored through our repentance. Faith is of great importance to us, but we must understand that our faith must be stamped with the seal of action in our lives. We must live our faith. We must believe without doubt and be able to stand upon that belief with sound actions that prove it. We must live our lives in such a way that our faith is brought out for others to see and not just hear. James 2:26 tells us that as the body is dead without breath so also is faith dead without good works to support it. We must build upon our faith daily. We do that with reading God’s Holy Word, prayer and putting what we learn into action. We must continue to push through times that seem so bad that nothing can help us. We must push hard our faith when life seems useless to us. Our faith is complete when we live it. It is to become not just a part of our lives but to become our life that we live daily. Let us all put our faith into action so that those around us will be able to witness our beliefs and the truths they produce. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
