What
good is it, my brothers,
If
a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?
Can
such a faith save him?
Suppose
a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.
If
one of you says to him, 'God, I wish you well;
Keep
warm and well fed,'
But
does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
In
the same way, faith by itself,
If
it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But
someone will say, 'You have faith; I have deeds.'
Show
me your faith without deeds,
And
I will show your my faith by what I do.
You
believe that there is one God. Good!
Even
the demons believe that—and shudder.
You
foolish man, do you want evidence
That
faith without deeds is useless?
Was
not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous
For
what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
You
see that his faith and his actions were working together,
And
his faith was made complete by what he did.
And
the scripture was fulfilled that says,
'Abraham
believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,'
And
he was called God's friend.
You
see that a person is justified by what he does
AND
NOT BY FAITH ALONE.
In
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?
As
the body without the Spirit is dead,
So
faith without deeds is dead. (James 2:14-26)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
