"What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? (James 2:14)"
As a believer, the word Faith
should be considered a verb. From the beginning it's all about our
works and how our works transform after we've been saved, sanctified and
filled with the Holy Spirit. When you accepted Jesus into your heart
you took a step out on faith, you choose to believe, you walk in faith
daily and in challenges you make a choice, you fall into the ways of the
world or you trust in God and step out in faith on any given situation.
When you pay your tithe you're stepping out on faith, especially if your finances are challenged at all. Being obedient in attending church and bible study is a work, giving someone a good word of encouragement is works. All of us that are an active part of a prayer/fellowship group, whether it be online or meeting in person are doing a good work because we are uplifting, fellow-shipping, encouraging and even educating (in love) one another on how to inherit the fullness of God! All the small stuff counts. Giving someone some spare change and speaking a blessing on them is good works...and the list goes on. We have all been called to be disciples, prophets & priests in the kingdom. We don't need a pulpit, a long sermon or even a formal setting to be a disciple. So if we change our mindset on Faith and know that Faith isn't just a dormant word it is a action as well, we will see how we use our Faith everyday! With that mindset it will continue to grow your faith and you will begin to do bigger works without even thinking about it or even realizing it at times because you have been so consciously walking in it that you keep pushing and the training wheels fall off without fazing us!
