live by faith, not by works
Faith.
Believe.
Trust.
Those all earn God's approval. Today's society, everyone believes that the way to "heaven" or a good place after death is through good works. Thats what religion is. EARNING your way to GOODNESS. Belief and Faith are the most crucial when it comes to Christianity. Christianity isnt a religion, but it is a relationship. And in a relationship, there are commitments.
Think about it. In friendships, do you just do good things to earn their trust? shower them with gifts? no, we learn to believe in our friends, have faith that they will have you back at all times. Thats what makes friends, better friends. Right? But now, faith and belief arent the only crucial things now. Added on now is the big C.
Commitment.
Without commitment, its just no good. Ha, how ironic. Tomorrow, at AGAPE, we have MOBS, our monthly bible study and we're tackling the topic of LUKEWARM FAITH. This is when Christians say they are Christian, but they still do things that arent. They are double faced, double minded. and God HATES that. Even in the verse, it says VOMIT. That is how much God HATES this attitude and faith. We must learn to change and be COMPLETELY ON FIRE for God. Full commitment. Full relationship. Full growth.
7For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."
