James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? A FAITH THAT DOES NOT PRODUCE A TRANSFORMATION OF CHARACTER, GOOD WORKS IS A DEAD FAITH! IT IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE OF DEMONS THAT THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ ”And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.“ Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. James 2:17-24 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? …Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. LIVING FAITH DOES NOT ABROGATE THE LAW OF GOD BUT LEADS TO OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S COMMANDMENTS Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. Romans 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. Genesis 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 1 John 2:3-4 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Romans 13:8-10 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Colossians 3:2-6 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. …For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience Matthew 3:8-10 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. MAY WE LIKE DAVID WHO TRUSTED IN GOD AND WAS DETERMINED TO RUN IN THE WAY OF GOD’S COMMANDMENTS Psalm 143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psalm 119:32-35 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 34Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 35Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
