The New life In Christ: Faith and Good Works: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35.

“If your neighbor gives you his coat as a promise for the money he owes you, you must give it back to him by sunset, because it is the only cover to keep his body warm. He has nothing else to sleep in. If he cries out to me for help, I will listen, because I am merciful,” says God. Exodus 22:26-27.

If people say they have faith, but do nothing, their faith is worth nothing. Can faith like that save them? A brother or sister in Christ might need clothes or food. If you say to that person, “God be with you! I hope you stay warm and plenty to eat,” but you do not give what that person needs, your words are worth nothing.

In the same way,

Faith that is alone-that does nothing- is dead. James 2:14-17. Amen.
