Change Starts With Me By Melissa Chaplin

If I was trying to Ppease people. I would not be a servant of Christ. Gal. 1:10 Obey God rather than man Acts 5:32

Matt. 22:1-14 A parable is a short story illustrating principle or moral. It compares or is like. The kingdom of heaven is like the King in the story preparing a wedding banquet for his son.

James 2:14-24 Because you obeyed my voice says the Lord I will bless you. Gen. 22:15-19 James compares faith to the human body.. He likens works to the spirit. The body without the spirit is lifeless, useless, and valueless. So faith without works is dead, ineffective, worthless. We demonstrate that we already know God when we obey his commands

You have faith, now you must apply- (put to action. put into effort and use) the Word of God

Sub title: Faith without Obedience is Dead James 2:14-26 James counted that works are evidence of genuine faith. v. 18

What good is faith; if your not going to trust and obey?

The only way others can know you have faith is by a life that demonstrates it

James 2:14-26 True faith causes a change in our behavior

James 2:14-26 Faith without Obedience is Dead. Jesus commands in John 14:15 if we love him then obey his Words. True faith causes a change in our behavior. In Gal. 5:6 Paul also wrote: The only thing that counts is faith expressing (working) itself through love. In Eph. 2:10 Paul said, we were created in Christ Jesus to do good works.

The prayer of a man whose heart is right with God works wonders.

The prayer of a authoritative (recognized as true), heartfelt sincere, faithful, godlike man produces and accomplish much.

In God's Word Translation version:

Prayers offered by those who have God's approval are effective. James 5:16

Through it all Satan said Job held on to his integrity. Job. 2:3 No matter what you go through will you past the test like Job and hold on to your godly integrity? *Job recognize that ultimately the Lord determines all...things so he submitted himself to God's Sovereign. Job had pure motives for serving God.. What are your true motives for serving God? Job 1:13:22; 2:1-6
