James 2:17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
The greatest danger for a Christian today is complacency, the person who believes that being a Christian and not doing anything for Jesus Christ is sufficient. It is a sad day when we accept our mediocrity, and believe that we can talk as we please, do as we please and treat others as we please and still believe that this is acceptable to Jesus Christ. Works without faith is useless, and faith without works even more so, unless we do something in faith, we may as well consider ourselves the same as everyone else.
Yet we are not like anyone else, we are unique and on of a kind, created by God for that unique purpose, to live and fulfill that purpose not for our pleasure, but for the pleasure of God who created us. Every day must be lived to please God, and in that living we work hard and face all the struggles that this world may throw at us, the slander, the challenges, the disrespect, no matter what it does not change either our purpose and as we only please God and not anyone else. With this attitude what is impossible for the world, becomes possible for us, because of the God who dwells in us and with us.
Be encouraged today to stop being complacent about pleasing God.
David
Point to ponder: Faith and works go together.
Question to consider: How complacent are you?
