A person is justified by what he does and no by faith alone

James 2:14-26
If a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? No. faith by it self, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
You believe that there is one God, even the demons believe that- and shudder.
A person is justified by what he does and no by faith alone.
Abraham and Rahab their faith was made complete by what they did.
The body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Why?
Our faith needs deed to prove. Faith is not speak on the mouth only. Claim faith is easy, but when something happen we confess real faith to show it by deeds. What we do is more important than what we claimed.
Faith that stops at words is not faith at all. Even demons believe in God, and fear him, but that won't save them from God's judgments.
If what we believe does not affect the way we live, what we do, it is dead.
How?
Dear heavenly Father, please give me the strength to walk out what my faith in you, get rid of the greedy desire in me. Help me do the words of the Lord. May my mind and my deeds may honor your name.
