LIVING FAITH

 
James 2:17


"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."NIV


"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."KJV


True faith in the Lord will always bring changes in our outward life. Faith is more than a mental belief. It is a trust that automatically brings a response from us. If we claim to have faith but ignore the needs of others, fail to share the gospel, and behave in the same way the world does, our faith is powerless and worthless. True faith produces fruit, and will find a way to express itself in our daily living. Faith transforms. Transformation shows up in our lifestyle. Is our faith showing?


Heavenly Father, we confess that our faith has wavered and has not shown through our actions at times. Forgive us when our faith is weak. May the Holy Spirit stir up our faith so that we will be showing our faith to the world around us. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

My prayer too. Oh how those words can smite us when we fail to exercise what we say we believe.
Point taken, Geoff.
