Faith and Deeds


  Is there someone in your life you think is beyond the reaches of God's love and grace? You may not speak it verbally, but deep down in your heart you just don't think that person will ever come to know Christ.
What are some things you could do to show that person God's love and grace?


  Is there someone in your life that you feel doesn't deserve to be saved from the eternal pain and torment of hell?
Maybe what that person really needs is for you to show them the love of Christ... in the same way that Christ showed you love and grace, even when you didn't deserve it.


Remember being a christian is about combining both Faith and Deeds, you have to both believe in Christ and choose to follow Him. People who don't choose to believe in and follow Christ will go away to the eternal punishment of hell.


James 2:14-19
   What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 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? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 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. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that and shudder.
