QUIT PLAYING CHURCH!

Churches today are literally filled with people who are under the delusion that they have saving faith.

They are looking forward to heaven when the fact is there has never been a transformed life and therefore there’s never been a justifying change in their inner most being.

You can say you have faith but I can’t see that faith unless you show me that faith. And you can’t show me that faith unless you show it to me in a repentant transformed life.

It is not enough to say you have faith, that proves nothing. That’s merely an affirmation which may or may not be true.

Faith in a sense is like the wind, you can’t see it, you only see its effects. It’s like electricity, you can’t see it but you can feel and enjoy and appreciate its effects. It’s like radio waves, you can’t see them, they’re invisible but you can appreciate their effect.

Faith is not known to be real until it is evident in action, deeds, in doing. As in James 1 : 22 put it, or in works as we see in chapter 2.

Faith in James’ mind is a statement equal or a word equal to spiritual life. When he says “faith without works is dead,” what he really means to say, if we can clarify it that way, is spiritual life without works is dead.

There’s no real life there at all. Unless you are living a repentant transformed life, there is no way that your faith can be verified to anyone nor in fact to yourself.
