THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S THE FAITH THAT WORKS THROUGH LOVE AND SERVES BY LOVE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For IN Jesus Christ neither circumcision\u00a0availeth\u00a0any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which WORKS by\u00a0LOVE…\u00a013 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 5:6, 13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FAITH that WORKS and\u00a0that’s\u00a0EFFECTUAL – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the FAITH that WORKS through LOVE and SERVES by LOVE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the PATIENCE of HOPE keeps FAITH thriving\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0all odds,\u00a0it’s\u00a0LABOURING in LOVE to SERVE one another that ensures EFFECTIVE FAITH communication in our walk with God.\u00a01 Thessalonians 1:3; Philemon 1:4-6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
