For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. -James 2:26-
One of the reasons I like James so much is the fact that he is straight forward. It is clear he doesn’t hide his words. The truth is the truth.
As christian we shouldn’t be just sitting around until something happens. We should be going out and do as God does. what does it mean to have faith? To believe something and do the opposite? That is not very smart.
“But then what should I do?” Well, if you do not know how to reach out or you have nothing to look forward to, just look for the Kingdom of God. Just take Matthew 6:33 and start to live by it. It WILL change your life. It will turn everything around. You will not be the same anymore.
God will challenge you. There will be situations where your faith will be tested. And we are not talking about how many times you go to church or how many songs you sang. No no no. It will be situation where someone will be standing on your doorstep and will be asking for food. You’ll be looking at that person and thinking you will die if you give your last food to that person. But does God not tell you that He WILL take care of you? So why worry to give your last food?
Why should we be afraid to trust God for taking care of us? He keeps promissing us that He will defend us, feed us, dress us, house us, etc… And then one day all that what God has said will be tested. Things will happen in your life and when that happens you can see if your faith is still alive. Or is it?
