NOTE
FAITH AND WORKS (Eph 2: 8,9, Heb 11:1-3, James 2;14-26)
Faith in Jesus simply means believing in the person of Jesus even when we have not seen him physically. Believing in his death, burial, resurrection, ascension and second coming enhances our our faith in him. Faith represents Christian’s good conduct as taught by Christ while work means putting the good conducts into practice in the Christian way of life, that is why the book of James says faith without work is dead.
We are not saved by good works; we are saved for good works. Good works are evidences of salvation, if a person claims to be genuinely saved and there are no works or change of life to show, then it should be questioned whether such person is genuinely saved or not. Therefore faith without work is a questionable one, because our faith is demonstrated in our accepting the person of Jesus and his work on the cros The good conducts that the bible expects Christians to practice include;
(i) faithfulness
(ii) Love
(iii) forgiveness
(iv) humility
(v) truthfulness
(vi) honesty etc.
Work implies putting these into practice. A true Christian practices both faith and work because Christianity void of any is an imbalanced one.
The Roles of faith in the life of Christians.
Faith assures Christians of eternal Salvation. It shows that Christians are no longer under the bond of law but under grace. It is by faith that Christians face challenges of life with enough courage and confidence Faith is a motivator of Christians for good work. E.g education, healing, evangelization etc.
