Good works:

 Good works:

James 2:26

 

Blessed day/evening to all my brothers and sisters. Hope all are well, blessed, well provided for, and protected.

Did you know that while good works alone do not save us, but they are however still a very necessary part of our faith. As God did not call us to be slothful ( lazy ). Let me show you what I mean. Turn with me for moment to ( James 2nd Chapter verse 26 ) now here's the interesting part. It reads as follows, " For as the the body without the Spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." And so we see here if we claim to have faith, then good works should be done when and wherever we can as it brings God our Father much glory. ( James 2:17 ) also tells us, even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead being alone." And so again I'm not trying to say good works saves us as Jesus alone is who saves us. But these good works is part of how we show we have faith.

Now did you know Jehovah our Father in heaven has prepared good works in advance for us to do? Turn with me please to ( Ephesians 2nd Chapter verse 10 ) which reads, " For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Now I want to point something out to you, ( now here's the zinger ), did you know that it has been proven that some people have even converted to Christianity, and became a follower of Jesus Christ. How you may ask? Here's how by showing love ( listen ) By showing love one's neighbor, shining the light of God that He is always shining upon His children, and His children in turn shining His light upon others. And so the final scripture I want us to turn to read is ( Matthew 5th Chapter verse 16 ) which says, " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is heaven." So I ask you are Shining the light of our Heavenly Father upon others? Just as He does for you?

For anyone that has not accepted and Trusted the Lord Jesus as their Lord & personal Savior. I urge you to do so today. Let the Lord Jesus into your heart, and let Him take the steering wheel of your life. As i promise you it will be the best decision you can make for your life. Confess you are a sinner to Almighty God and ask for His mercy & forgiveness of your sins. And accept God's free gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus. And I promise you it will work and you will be accepted into God's family and be part of the Kingdom of God! As God desires nobody to perish but for all to come to repentance.
