James 2:15-16

James 2:15-16

If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
James 2:15-16

From verses 2:14-26, James is saying faith without works is dead. He gives an example of living out our faith in the above verses. If you have a brother or sister around you and you say be filled and be warmed but you do nothing about it, what profit is there? In other words, actions speak louder than words.

I’ve been reading and seeing all over Facebook and Instagram and Twitter the words “They need Jesus!” or “The answer is found in Jesus.” Yes, those statements are true but, my question to you is “So what are you doing about it?” Are you simply praying that someone else could come along and feed them? Or are you putting action to your faith? I know I have the tendency of standing around praying but now its time for the next step — go out and do. Go out and invest in the lives of those who need it the most.
