What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?
James 2:14 NKJV
“Can faith save him?” When James asks this question many of us scratch our heads and say, “I thought so. I thought we were saved by faith and not by works.” James is not letting us stay on the surface of that doctrine. We have to dive deeper.
A real and genuine faith has evidence. It leaves footprints and fingerprints. It can be seen by outward expressions. A faith that doesn’t leave a trace in my life by the things I do is a highly questionable faith. It doesn’t stand up.
Are there evidences of my faith expressed in my daily life? Can it be seen in decisions and actions? How will I let my faith show today?
Jesus, Help me show Your love and grace to others today. Amen.
