James 2:22-24


Shalom brothers and sisters.

Today’s Bible Verse: James 2:22-24

Verse Text: [James 2:22-24 NKJV] 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

A few days ago, May 24th specifically, I said:

Faith is a verb.

From wikibooks: It is the act whereby a person lays hold of God's resources, becomes obedient to what He has prescribed and putting aside all self-interest and self-reliance, trusts Him completely. It is an unqualified surrender of the whole of a person’s being in dependence upon Him. It is wholly trusting and relying upon Him for all things. It is not just mental assent to the facts and realities of truth; it must come from a deep inner conviction.

Faith is let go and let God.

Abraham not only had head knowledge of God but He also heard and did His commandments. Abraham came before Moses wrote down the Torah, but Abraham still knew it and kept it as should we.

Go forth and spread this good news.

I hope this has been a blessing to you. May the rest of your day be blessed. Walk Torah-ly. Shalom.
