(James 2:20)
I have heard people say this, and I find myself saying it: "If you're going to talk the talk, you better walk the walk!"
The Christian life, is a walk of faith.
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)
James in his letter, tells us, that just to say we have faith, is not enough. We must put our faith in action. It is the proof to God, to others, and especially to ourselves, that our relationship with God, is more than just talk.
It's not enough to just say that, that car, or that tractor, or riding lawn mower, runs good. We need to fire it up, and see how good it runs.
It is the same way with our faith. When we put our faith in action, it demonstrates what we can do, when we move forward, with God leading the way.
And there are many opportunities waiting for us, to exercise our faith. And to say. if we don't get involved in productive ministry, who will?
We hope that many will. Like Esther, an influence of one, was able to save her people from destruction.
We can become more than we think, and accomplish more than we could ever imagine, simply by putting our faith in action. By putting one foot in front of the other.
It's more than just talk, it's a walk in faith. So, fellow Christians, let's get going! GP
