Faith Without Action Is Dead
If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2: 16-17, NIV Faith without action is dead. It’s like telling God, “I trust you,” and then suddenly feeling exhausted because we want to control everything.

This is what Jesus did for all of us. He hates our sins, but still, He loves us so much. He doesn’t look at our mistakes. Instead, He chose to die on the cross just to show us that we are important and valuable in His eyes. Jesus shows us what forgiveness and mercy are all about.

Let’s not focus on the wrong things that they did. Instead, we need…
