Faith and Works

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8

“…faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” James 2:17

I won’t make a series of the Labor Day concept, but I was led to a spin-off of yesterday’s Bread and would like to share that with you…

I once heard a theologian say, ”Christ did everything, but we have to do something.” His point: that God did His part by sacrificing Himself completely through Jesus on the Cross for us. Our part is to carry on with that commitment of Love by expressing it SOME way….

Write a letter.

Call a lonely friend or relative.

Forgive someone who has wronged you---out loud, directly to them.

Confess.

Volunteer.

Take food to a hungry person.

Contribute money to a needy individual or an organization that helps the needy.

Teach someone a Christ-centered fact.

“…faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.”

Blessing Always In All Ways,

Steve
