It is one thing to be a spectator but something entirely different when we actually get into the game. The Book of James insists upon action. The book in the New Testament following the four Gospels is “The Actions of the Apostles.” Some doctrines and beliefs are noteworthy in “Acts,” but most of the book tells the story of how God acted and the responses that followed. Actions are very important. We are what we do. James insists that believers don’t just hear the Word, but we are to obey it. As Bob Goff wrote, “Love Does.” We also must affirm nobody will be perfect in their actions. We all sin, even after conversion. Yet, our failures do not negate the importance of staying in the game.
