The Truth - Faith manifested in works

Topic: Faith manifested in works

Bible Verse: James 2:14 "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?"

Message: Our faith in Jesus Christ should be translated into works. Abraham not just believed, but his faith was also manifested in his works (James 2:20-26). Firstly, the work of submitting our body parts to righteous acts & fleeing away from evil (Romans 6:11-13). Such examples are seen even on young men of faith like Joseph & Daniel. Secondly, the work of obeying God's word completely. We should meditate & pray daily for God's Grace to obey His words in Holy Bible (Jeremiah 35:13; John 14:21). Finally, our works should be in faith before God & not just the world. Hence God asked Abraham to walk before Him. When we look upon the sacrifice of Jesus, we will be able to submit & obey God wholeheartedly before Him (Genesis 17:1 & Revelation 2:19). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus help us to submit & obey to your word & live by faith. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

The Truth - Alive with Jesus

Topic: Alive with Jesus

Bible Verse: Romans 6:11 “Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Message: When we believe that we were crucified with Jesus it’s also important to believe we are alive in Christ & there is also a hope for our physical resurrection. When Jesus rose again & entered into Heaven, He became the first of all; there by giving the hope that He will raise all those who believe in Him. Hence Jesus said “I died & behold Iam alive forevermore”. Also He said “because I live; you shall also live” (1 Corinthians 15:20; Revelation 1:18 & John 14:19). Secondly, there is a spiritual resurrection. When Jesus died, He took the sin of whole world but when  He rose again from death He lives forever having fellowship with God. In same way the fellowship with God which Adam & we lost to sin ; we now can gain back by coming daily before throne of God through Jesus (Genesis 3:8-10; Hebrews 4:16; Romans 6:10). Finally, the life we live in this world, we are living daily in Jesus. It’s no longer us but Christ who lives in us & daily we are being transformed like Him. One day when we meet Jesus face to face we will be like Him (1John 3:2, Galatians 2:20,21). God bless you. 

Prayer: Dear Lord help us to realise that it’s no longer we but it’s You who live in us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen.
