Good Morning!
For just as the [human] body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works [of obedience] is also dead. -James 2:26
We are not saved by our works but because we are saved we should have works as a result of our faith. This can be confusing since we can’t earn our way into heaven through works, but if we fully realize what Jesus did for us we tend to want to be the hands and feet of Jesus to bring more people into the body of Christ. For people that are task oriented it is easy to fall into the trap of earning our way, but scripture teaches us there is nothing that we can do to earn our way. All we can do is surrender to God and but all of our trust and faith in Him.
“If faith without works is dead, willingness without action is fantasy.”
“Just as faith without works is dead, so also works without faith.” -Stephen R. Covey
Dad Joke of the Day:
My wife has accused me of stealing her Thesaurus…..
Not only was I shocked, I was also aghast, appalled, and dismayed.
Have a great Friday and an awesome weekend!
