DAILY DEVOTION
(1Cor 2:9) But as it
is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into
the heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love
him.
My Morning Bread
(John 6:35)
And Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst.
Can Such Faith Save?
James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
There
is a faith that can save. But there are many faiths which cannot save.
One aspect of saving faith is that it is application oriented. A person
of saving faith considers the implications of their faith and acts upon
such implications.
Paul writes, "By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain." 1Cor 15:2
There are those whose claim of having faith is merely vain.
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
James 1:22
And there are those "who claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him."
Titus 1:16a
Jesus said,
"Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Mt 7:21
