WISDOM NUGGET: TO MAKE YOUR FAITH WORK FOR YOUR GOOD: IT’S A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S!
“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].
I herein remind you to make your FAITH work out for your good and goodness, for it’s a personal responsibility and not someone else’s. You need to have a pragmatic resolved and to intentionally set out your personal scriptural effort, with the assurance to ensure that you make the necessary endeavours, to inflame and ablaze your faith, in order to make you glow in life and grace irrespective. For your faith will definitely define your today and tomorrow – knowingly and unknowingly.
FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed. Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.
FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So, the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.
It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.
Therefore, set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in every way. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“ENDEAVOURING to KEEP the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” Ephesians 4:3.
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV)
“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.
“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that THE WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.
“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].
“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.
“But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION . . . 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
