What Must I Do?

Scripture:

“For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.” (James 2:26)

Thought for the day:
“I asked long ago,'What must I do to be saved?' The Scripture answered, 'Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.' I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity.” - John Wesley

Finding the balance between faith and works is essential to the Christian walk. Faith spurs action. Action confirms faith. Combined salvation is assured.

Prayer for the day:

Gracious God, grant me the faith necessary to labor in love of my neighbors. Amen.
