Category: Faith and Works

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

What are works?

Sometimes It’s as simple as taking steps toward what we are having faith for.

If the step is there, take it. If the door opens, walk through it!

If the step isn’t there to take yet, then wait for it. It will come.

Even waiting when we are supposed to is a step of faith!

Putting our faith into action by obeying God in the steps He gives us is “works”.

If we don’t obey, then what we are believing God for will just sit there, dormant. Nothing will happen. No change will come. It’s a prayer that goes unanswered because we fail to obey and take the proper step.

Faith has no teeth if we cannot back it up with action (works). The necessary steps must be taken before we can get answers!

Take that first step. When we do, He will meet us there. Each step we take with Him gets us closer to receiving our answer.

Sometimes the answer may come quickly. Sometimes it may take a while to get it. But nevertheless, we will have that answer through faith in God with our works of obedience.

Steps equal works; confirming our faith and trust in Him and what He says He will do! Amen.
