Take Action

Can you imagine buying a new car and then leaving it in the driveway and never using it?  Or purchasing a house but never moving in?  Or ordering food at a restaurant with no intention of eating it?  Of course not.  

This is what James, the half brother of Jesus, is trying to get us to understand.  While the Bible is clear that salvation is by grace through faith, James argues that if we don’t continue to take action that our faith is useless?

It is true God saved your life apart from your works but now that you are His it is normal and essential that your love for Jesus Christ produce good works in every area of your life.  Works are simply the demonstration of your appreciation for Jesus rescuing your life.

James 2:17 says that Faith, if not accompanied by action, is dead.”

Put your faith into practice and let the Lord of the universe direct your steps today!
