Trust the Lord about everything He said, everything in your life.
Jam2:14What good is it, my brothers, if a
man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose
a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If
one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but
does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In
the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18But
someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith
without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. 19You
believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder. 20You
foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds
is useless? 21Was not our ancestor Abraham
considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
22You see that his faith and
his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he
did. 23And the scripture was fulfilled that
says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”
(Gen15:6)
and he was called God's friend. 24You see that a
person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. 25In
the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what
she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different
direction? 26As the body
without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Heb11:1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
