Faith that works is NOT busy-ness... it is not doing whatever you think you should do... what feels good to you... I heard it as a reminder on the radio yesterday...
Oh, how many of us Christians feel that we in the flesh can do something that will please God! Many believers who never find out otherwise become as busy as termites and are having about the same effect in many of our churches. ---J. Vernon McGee, Thru the Bible
The works of the flesh... they destroy the church... eat away at it like termites... our own understanding and reason so skewed by sin... that what we do... believing it to be good... is not...
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags...
Isaiah 64:6
For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh.
Romans 7:18
ESV
Faith that works... listens first... listens to God... not only the written Scripture... but the Living Word... the personal word He speaks... regarding your life... time... relationships...
Here is where we build relationship with God... through Christ... via the Holy Spirit... listening and learning His voice...
Walking the walk of faith... begins by listening...
Consequently, faith comes from hearing,
and hearing through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17
ESV
...and when His Word comes... ACT...
