Theme:FAITH AND WORKS
__________________________________________
TEXT:
James 2:17-18
Memory Verse:
Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without works and I will show thee my faith by my works. Jam. 2:17-18 (KJV )
INTRODUCTION:
¡°Faith¡± and ¡°Works¡± are two basic concepts of the New Testament. For successful Christian living it is essential to understand and to apply these two concepts correctly. In essence, ¡°faith¡± means that we believe what God says in the Bible; ¡°works¡± are the appropriate acts or patterns of behavior by which we express and demonstrate what we believe. In God¡¯s order, ¡°faith¡± comes first; ¡°works¡± follows. Any works not based on faith are ¡°dead works.¡± But any faith not expressed by works is ¡°dead faith.¡±
