#Faith Requires action 💥

14 My brothers and sisters, what good is it if people say they have faith but do nothing to show it? Claiming to have faith can’t save anyone, can it? 15 Imagine a brother or sister who is naked and never has enough food to eat. 16 What if one of you said, “Go in peace! Stay warm! Have a nice meal!”? What good is it if you don’t actually give them what their body needs? 17 In the same way, faith is dead when it doesn’t result in faithful activity. – James 2:14-17

There’s a great temptation sometimes in church world for faith to become a “passive” activity. We can come to church. We can sit for an hour or so in a worship service. Maybe we can sit for another hour in a Sunday School class or a small group. We can listen to the choir, musicians, band, etc., during a worship concert. We can listen to a pastor or other speaker share with us some inspiring and uplifting words from the Bible. Then we can smile, shake some hands, get in the car and head home until the next time we gather in church. It’s the world of low-impact faith.

Earlier in James we also read about why we should not only be “hearers” of the word , But Doers .
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬
