After sometime pondering what to write I decided to go best with

James 2:14-26 - ... what use is it for a man to say he "has faith" if

his actions do not correspond with it? Could that sort of faith save

anyone's soul? If a fellow man or woman has no clothes to wear and

nothing to eat, and one of you say, "Good luck to you I hope you'll

keep warm and find enough to eat", and yet give them nothing to meet

their physical needs, what on earth is the good of that? Yet that is

exactly what a bare faith without a corresponding life is like -

useless and dead for I have been there in life & need a constant

reminder for Christ that if I think positive though get positive , like

the say 'you reap what you sow'. If we only "have faith" a man could

easily challenge us by saying, "you say that you have faith and I have

merely good actions. Well, all you can do is to show me a faith without

corresponding actions, but I can show you by my actions that I have

faith as well."

To the man who thinks that faith by itself is enough I feel inclined to

say, "So you believe that there is one God? That's fine. So do all the

devils in hell and shudder in terror!" For, my dear friend & family,

can't you see far enough to realise that faith without the right

actions is dead and useless? Think of Abraham, our ancestor. Wasn't it

his action which really justified him in God's sight when his faith led

him to offer his son Isaac on the altar? (Genesis 22) Can't you see

that his faith and his actions were, so to speak, partners - that his

faith was implemented by his deed? That is what the scripture means

when it say:

'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness'

(Genesis 15:6).

And he was called the friend of God

A man is justified before God by what he does as well as by what he

believes. Rahab who was a prostitute and a foreigner has been quoted as

an example of faith, yet surely it was her action that pleased God,

when she welcomed Joshua's reconnoitring party and got them safely back

by a different route.

Yes, faith without action is as dead as a body without a soul.

I hope this englightening those just as much as God have enlighten me.

God Bless,
Marie ******

What y'all think of this one?

If you hear voices in your head obey what ever it tells you to do or burn in hell.
