On this episode I talk about a scripture in the bible that I believe is often misunderstood and taken out of context and that's James 2:20 or actually a piece of James 2:20 which says "Faith without works is dead". I think many people believe the word "works" means "work" and in truth they have very different meanings. "Works" in the Bible means actions or deeds and to give the scripture context the person speaking is reminding the listener  of the time God rewarded the action of Abraham presenting his son for a sacrifice. To be clear God didn't actually want Abraham to sacrifice his son but he wanted to see if he had enough faith in God to be obedient. He wanted to see if his actions would match his faith and in showing through his "works" or actions that he'd be willing to sacrifice his own son because he believed in God's word that much, God decided to bless him with the power to bless everyone. The point of the story is that it's not enough to simply believe in thought or in spirit but that your actions must match your beliefs and when God sees your faith in action and that you are moving as someone who believes what he claims to have faith in, He recognizes your body as a place where His spirit can move. I hope this helps and as always, appreciate the blessings!
