James 2:18 (KJV) Show Me Your Faith

James 2:18 (KJV)
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.

I knew a lady once, she’s passed away now, who refused to get baptized because she said she wanted to prove a Christian can go to heaven without being baptized. She had a friend who professed to be a Christian but refused to attend church because she wanted to prove she could go to heaven without being a member of or attending church. They were demonstrating their faith, they believed, by their works, or lack of it. 

I suppose every sort of faith has some sort of work associated with it, even if the work is not to work.  I wish to point out that our actions tell a great deal about our faith – what we believe. I would go so far as to say our work shows our true faith much more than our words do. 

• One person’s faith compels him to be very religious. He does what he does because he believes these things earn him a spot in heaven. 
• Another person’s faith sets them to work building up churches. His faith leads him to believe that if he won’t do it neither will God. 
• I want my faith to show that I believe in a living and present God, with whom I have a true and personal relationship. 

And I would like to lead others to know Him in the same way. 

To my readers:
First of all, thank you! It is a great joy to me to know you read the thoughts and lessons God has given me in His word. Secondly, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to leave comments.
