Yoooo!
Hey hope all is well! Been a hot minute eh? heh heh. Hope your memorial day weekend was off the hook! And now, we are back on track, tru! Aight, on to.. da Word.
checkit:
You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
- James (James 2:24)
Yo James is on FIRE!!!! Enfuego son! If you haven't read da book of James, you should definitely peep it. The book, though short, packs maaaaaaaaaaaaaad punch! N e who, this tidbit of goodness speaks volumes. It comes after James points out that old testament badmamajamma Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness by Pops above! That is SIC yo! Pops above Himself justified Abraham's faith. Why? Cuz Abraham acted in faith. He did what Pops asked, believing that Pops had everything under control. Peep da story of Abraham and his son Isaac for the fully skinny. Meanwhile....
Potnas, the point is this... faith without action is like a leader without vision... USELESS! If your faith is not motivating you towards action, then I would start questioning whether or not that faith is real. Cuz yo, real faith.... shoooooot, you wouldn't be able to put a cap on that hydrant if you wanted to. The urge to act would be gushing forth with such force you couldn't help BUT act in reflection of that faith. Faith is so transforming that your very desires become aligned with those of Pops. And Pops desires to love all and to demonstrate that love via action. It follows then that your faith will drive you towards action, and your deeds will thus justify your faith.
Represent Christ! Walk... and not just talk!
