Covenant

Faith without works is dead....
Abraham: his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.
Jms 2v22

Heres the deal, the pathway by which the Messiah sets us free from sin and gives us power to live is one of pure faith. What I somtimes forget is actions are a part of faith (Abrahams faith was impcomlete without actions)

People are made of spirit and body. A spirit without a body is a ghost, a body without a spirit is a corpse. So someone with only faith, un-combined with action, can only exist in the kingdom of the Messiah as a phantom exist with us; one doing lots of work without faith is a corpse in the kingdom. Faith is our life, actions put flesh and bone on our faith and ground us in the reality of the kingdom, so believe strongly and grow in life but work hard to embody that life in your deeds.... simples.

Peace
