THE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S FOUND IN THEM THAT LOVES GOD AND HIS WORD!
“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have KEPT MY FATHER’S COMMANDMENTS, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE” John 15:7-10.
All things will always WORK together for good, for those who LOVES God as they walk in cause of His WORD, in their PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for them. Meaning, walking in God’s intended Plan, Purpose and Pursuit is walking in His WORD in context and perspective.
Therefore, the FAITH THAT WORKS is found in those who WALK in God’s LOVE and keep to His WORD [COMMANDMENTS] in Love. Just as LOVE lubricates FAITH, the WORD sustains and keeps LOVE alive. For God will only COMMEND what He COMMAND, meaning God will honour those who walk according to His WORD – revealed and affirmed by the written WORD.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
