FAITH-BASED WORKS
James 2:14-16
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
Personal challenge
The epistles are pretty clear in their teachings, we must have godly works accompany our faith if we desire to be counted as children of God. Faith is not just some mental exercise whereby we proclaim our trust in God. This is fundamental, but without following that faith with works that glorify God, then our faith becomes stillborn. Lord, have mercy?
