Faith Without Action
By Kaitlyn F.
I know that we have heard over and over
again that faith without action is dead. Last night I was reading over
the passage in James 2 that talks about faith and
deeds. I found the example that it talked about to be pretty powerful.
"Was not our father
Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on
the altar? You see that his faith and
his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what
he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says,
“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and
he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and
not by faith alone."(James 2:21-24)
Abraham
was strong in faith, but when God tested his faith, he proved by his actions
that he was faithful to God. It is really easy to say that you have faith in
something, but it is ten times harder to actually do anything with your faith.
People on the outside can see our heart to see our faith. The only way that
they can see our faith, is by the actions that we show.
