 The Deeds of Faith

 

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

James 2:14-18

¹⁴ What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? ¹⁵ Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. ¹⁶ If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? ¹⁷ In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. ¹⁸ But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

A balance has to be reached between pursuing our Lord in worship, growing spiritually, developing relationships with other fellow Christians and together reaching out to the lost and ministering to the marginalized spiritually and meeting their social needs.

Reaching out to the poor is faith with works and is representative of Christ and His teachings.
