Topic: Faith And Work

"Faith without work is dead." Oops, we have a small misquote. We should have said, "Faith without works is dead." However, the word "work," leaving off the "s," hits the nail on the head. Billy Graham noted there is no conflict between faith and works. In the Christian life, faith and work go together like inhaling and exhaling. Faith is taking the gospel in; work or works is taking the gospel out. When James proclaims the relationship between faith and works, James declares you cannot have faith without having work or works. A true Christian has both faith and work. A faith grounded in humble contrition before Christ is a faith that energizes the believer into doing more than just sitting and listening. A faith energized by the love of God is a faith that turns into humble service for Christ. We are not saved by work or works, but once saved, we are impelled to give away a tiny portion of the love Christ has given to us. We must also remember if there are no works, there may not also be true salvation or there may be a salvation that is not fully matured, fully absorbed, or fully taken in.
