Faith Works: What Are You Waiting For?
09/07/08
Dr. Phil Wilkes, James 1:19-27
In this passage James tells us to receive God’s word in our lives with humility. We are to embrace God’s truth and allow it to transform our lives. Once we embrace God’s truth we are to take action and live out what God reveals to us in his word. To only acquire knowledge and truth but do nothing with it is simply self deception. It does you no good. James says that faith without works is dead or useless. It cannot impact your marriage, heal broken relationships, help you in a crisis or deal with struggles. God’s truths are to be lived out each day. When you begin to apply God’s word in your life James says you will begin to experience the life God has designed for you.
