Kitchen Table Devotions

James

Day 24

What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

James 2:14

I can’t get past that question.  Can that faith save him?  Do you have the “faith” to live in heaven, not just with the idea of heaven?  Well, what kind of faith saves?  The salvation of Jesus doesn’t just save me from death, but it saves to for life, for living life right here, right now.  It’s not about appeasing God, Jesus did that, it’s about agreeing with God for the here and now and the then and there.  Faith that saves doesn’t just give me hope, it gives me heaven for the here and now in the here and now  Do I have faith that saves?  Would I offer the faith I have to others?  Would they want it?  What kind of fruit is hanging from my faith?  If my faith is truly in God, there is fruit hanging from my faith because that’s what God does, He makes life fruitful and saves us completely from death.  Praise God!  I want a faith that is fruitful and that saves completely, not just my life but the lives around me.
