Words vs Actions

James 2:22 – “You see, his faith and his actions worked together.  His actions made his faith complete.”

WORDS ARE EMPTY WITHOUT THE MEANING OF ACTION.  In essence, words are only believed if our actions follow suit.  However, this can work in two different ways.  One, if we own our own business, but treat workers like peasants, is God within us?  Two, if we hold onto the faith that God placed in our hearts and the evidence has not proven it yet, are we liars?  No, because faith and hope work together to build trust in Gods work and ultimately bring glory to His name (1 Peter 1:21).  Actions can tell a lot about a person, which will show their authenticity.  But may we not judge those waiting and believing in God to deliver a blessing, because when God does bless, all who doubted will blow away like dust in the wind.  Therefore, when you speak, speak carefully so you will not be caught in a trap.  The world is watching and waiting for the Christian to slip up.  God Bless
