Follow Through On Your Faith Real Faith
“It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because
anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that He exists and that He
cares enough to respond to those who seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6 (Msg) “If
you need wisdom--if you want to know what God wants you to do--ask Him, and He
will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.
6But when you ask Him, be sure that you really expect Him to answer, for
a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed
by the wind. 7People like that
should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8They can't make up their
minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.” James 1:5-8 (NLT) Read: James 2:14-26 v 14
Real faith is not something you “say”

rather/ v 20-22
Real faith is something you ”do” Our faith is not determined by what we
do rather, “Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it.” 2 Corinthians 13:5 (Msg) |
