James 2

“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions?  Can that kind of faith save anyone?” v. 14 (NLT)

We have all heard it, actions speak louder than words.  If you never spoke a word, would people know that you are a Christian by the things you do.  The reality is, the things we believe begin to change our actions.  “When someone claims to have faith, what he or she may have is intellectual assent – agreement with a set of Christian teachings – and as such it would be incomplete faith.  True faith transforms our conduct as well as our thoughts.  If our life remains unchanged, we don’t truly believe the truths we claim to believe.” (Life Application Study Bible)

Today, let’s begin to put our faith into action and show others our faith instead of something we talk about.  It’s easier to talk the talk, but the challenge and question today is can we walk the walk?
