Completed Faith

You see, his faith and his actions worked together.  His actions made his faith complete.

James 3:21

Abraham had faith in God.  His faith was so strong that he moved when God said to move, and he followed all that God asked of him.  He was even willing to sacrifice his son.  Abraham's actions made his faith complete. 

 Is your faith complete?  When you spend time with God daily do you listen to the things He asks of you?  Do you hear God's direction in your life and make choices to follow His leading?  Do your actions prove a complete faith in God and Jesus Christ?

Friends, it isn't enough to know God's Word.  It isn't enough to know the right thing to do or say.  Our faith is only made complete in the things we choose to do for God.  Our faith is completed through acting on God's guidance.  Our faith is made complete when we help the sick and feed the poor........when we take care of orphans and widows.  When we follow the commands God has given through His Word it proves that we believe in what God says.  It proves that we love Him and honor the position He holds in our lives, and deep within our hearts.  Love is an action!  Loving God is acting on all the things He has told us to do.  Our faith is shown through our love and made complete with every action we make in honor of His Word to us.

Dear God,  I want to prove to you that my love is genuine.  I want to act on the things you say and make my choices based on your Word.   Help me to live boldly like Abraham, sure of your promises and direction.  Give me strength to do what my heart knows is right, and to make my faith complete.
