The Effective FAITH That WORKS: It’s The FAITH That WORKS Through And SERVE By LOVE!
The FAITH that WORKS and that’s EFFECTUAL (effective and efficient) is the FAITH that WORKS through and SERVE by LOVE.
And the PATIENCE of HOPE keeps FAITH thriving in the midst of all odds, while LABOURING in LOVE to SERVE.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“For IN Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH which works by LOVE . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another” Galatians 5:6, 13.
“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 4-6.
“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.
