SAVING FAITH PRODUCES LIFE!
James 2:26 – Devotional
James 2:26
“As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without accompanying works is also dead.”
Having stood beside many open caskets in my life, I know what it is like to look upon the empty shell that was once a living and breathing person. The fact that I could not detect life did not mean that there was no longer life for that person.
The fact of the matter is that after physical death a person is more aware of their surroundings than ever before. The born-again believer is enveloped in peace and bliss that words cannot explain. The person who refused to respond to the call of God for salvation now knows the agony of eternal defeat!
The time for choice is not after our eyes close in death, it is now. That is why it is so important to share the gospel with those people the Lord brings across our path. We have the precious gift of eternal life with Christ available for each of us to not only possess ourselves, but also offer to others.
Just think of the eternal joy that we can offer to the person who happens to be next to us. The Holy Spirit will give us the words to speak if we step forward in faith to share life with those who are dead in their trespasses and sin!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
