Faith in Action
June 29, 2017
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
James 2:18
As a friend drove to the grocery store, she noticed a woman walking along the side of the road and felt she should turn the car around and offer her a ride. When she did, she was saddened to hear that the woman didnt have money for the bus so was walking home many miles in the hot and humid weather. Not only was she making the long journey home, but she had also walked several hours that morning to arrive at work by 4 a.m.
By offering a ride, my friend put into practice in a modern setting Jamess instruction for Christians to live out their faith with their deeds: Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead (v. 17). He was concerned that the church take care of the widows and the orphans (James 1:27), and he also wanted them to rely not on empty words but to act on their faith with deeds of love.
We are saved by faith, not works, but we live out our faith by loving others and caring for their needs. May we, like my friend who offered the ride, keep our eyes open for those who might need our help as we walk together in this journey of life.
Lord Jesus Christ, You did the ultimate deed by dying on the cross for me. May I never forget the sacrifice that gives me life.
We live out our faith through our good deeds.
Good works are the byproduct of our faith. James deals with the evidence essential to show the world that our faith is genuine. He wrote, But someone will say, You have faith; I have deeds. Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds (2:18). Authentic trust in God will always manifest itself in loving and caring for others.
How can you demonstrate your faith in Christ to someone today?

That black hawk Helicopter at Nederland, CO, was just 20 miles form me. No close fires this year though the air is hazy. Life is good.
