The word for today is - Works !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Works !

 

It is important that each believer examine his or her own heart and life, and make sure that they possess true saving faith. Read James 2;13-18, For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Wow! You see dead faith is good for nothing, some people with this kind of faith can quote the right verses from the Bible, but their walk does not measure up to their talk of the word. You may ask how can this be? It is because some people have never really submitted themselves to God. You see God is Love, in all that you do, do it with love or in love for others. Read James 2:24-26, Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.Do you understand that its about your Spirit, you can dress up the outter man, but you can not dress up the Spiritual man. The word of God tells us, that we are to live from the inside out, we are the light of the world,so the light in you could over take the darkness of this world. Let the Spirit of God come out of you, man looks at the outside, but God sees from within, your heart, the word says in 1 John 4:4,You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.We belong to God,we are able to overcome the world.There are 2 forces in existence, the one in us is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God (love) and the one in the world is Satan(evil).We need to know that the source of our strength and victory is in God. Our reliance on God is the key to our victory. If you choose to rely on your own ability, you are bound to lose. We need to spend quality time with God, meditate on His word,and confess His word over our lives. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, For we walk by faith, not by sight. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
