—James 2:21-26

“Faith without works is dead.” Also, works without faith. It takes more than lip service to live a faithful life. What Abraham did when he went to sacrifice his son follows us down through the generations. God promised Abraham descendants, and we are those descendants. Rahab’s act of courage reinforces the importance of even the most unlikely life. It’s important to center our lives on God’s will. By study and prayer, sharing our lives within a community of believers, and turning our selfish lives outward, we connect our faith to the works that God wants us to do for him.
