James a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead (James 2: 26;) and a dead faith is worst than no faith at all. Faith must work: it must produce; it must be visible.
Throughout James’ epistle to the Jewish believers, he integrates true faith and every day practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith.
Faith endures trials, and a renewed faith will face them head-on and develop endurance. Faith understands temptation.It will not allow us to consent to our lust and slide into sin. Faith obeys the Word. It will not merely hare and not do! Faith produces doers. Faith displays itself in works, it’s more than a word, faith is demonstrated by obedience and it responds to the promises of God.
Faith controls the tongue. This small but immensely powerful part of the body must be held in check. Faith can do it. Faith acts wisely. It gives ability to choose wisdom that is heavenly and shun wisdom that is earthly. Faith provides with the ability to resist the Devil and humbly draw near to God.
God Bless you
Pastor Jonathan
