The Daily Scroll - Faith and Works

 Billy was a young Christian who felt a strong desire to work for God. He had been active in church but desired, by faith, to do more. Others in his youth group talked about the rough people downtown on the strip and suggested prayer for them. But Billy thought more should be done. So on a Friday night he drove down there armed with tracts, drinks and cookies. He walked the street and passed out tracts and invited people to stop by for free cookies and drinks. One by one people made their way over to his car where he leisurely explained the gospel while they snacked. Several young people accepted Christ as their Savior due to Billy’s outreach. He put legs on his prayers, action with his faith and look what God did.

In the Bible we learn of the faith of a woman called Rahab. “Rehab the prostitute is another example. She was shown to be right with God by her actions when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road. Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.“ (James 2:25-26)
