Work Without Faith

Superior Essays
What do you consider to be the most significant thing you learned in this module (include appropriate or applicable Scripture references)? The most things I learned in this module are that faith without works is dead. “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill, and yet you did not supply their bodily needs, what is the god of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” (James 2:14-17) Sometimes we work without faith or we have faith without works. In this case, we cannot achieve what we are trying to accomplish because we don’t believe in …show more content…
Many us we work, but we don’t have faith. We know we are Christian, but we do not do what it is require being a true Christian. Moreover, if God asks us as he asked Abraham to offer his only child to him. Many Christian we cannot agree to do that because we don’t have faith and we forget that God is the one who can make everything possible. He gives and takes. Now I understand that work without faith is dead. I usually pray and have request to God, but not put my faith to God. When I don’t get answer I never think that it is because I prayed with no faith. Now I know that before I prayed I need to have faith in God and believe that God answer on the right time. If I don’t get what I need, I will know that it is not what God wants me to have and he is preparing better things to me. When we ask with faith he will give it to us. That is why sometime we ask and we don’t get answers because we asked with no faith. We need to believe and have faith before we ask because God knows what we need before we speak. He knows our needs, he knows our hearts. We just need faith and he will provide our needs. In this case, we need to work with faith in everyday of our life. Also, now I know that I need to have both faith and works to be a good Christian. I cannot leave one of them and say I am Christian. God ask us to do both believe in him and do his works. This way we will receive an eternal life when God come to take his people to live with him. Also as Christians we need to check our faith and works are matching if they are not, we know that we are going in wrong way. We need to work with no

    According to the eleventh chapter of the book of Hebrews, “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Heb. 11:1, NIV). People apply their faith for a range of reasons:some make use of their faith for material things, while others simply exert their faith to auricularly discern God’s voice. Faith gives us both a positive declaration and confidence. On the other hand, doubt causes both fear and equivocality. Hence, fear and faith cannot co-subsist.…

    Considering this chapter that ends all is well with faith. Negative and positive feelings plague my mind and heart.

Why should I keep my faith?…

    When Walking with the Lord there are many misconceptions in your level of faith. For Martin Luther, he believes that your faith takes work. In other words, your faith can improve all the time. The best way to improve your faith is severing the Lord. Martin Luther in his work, “ Three Treatises” believes that “Our faith in Christ does not free us” (311).…

    He wants us to dedicate our lives and turn over our heart to Him. God has shown Himself to us through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I strongly believe God wishes for us to live a life with other followers of Jesus Christ that constantly gives ourselves to Him. He sent His son, Jesus, to lay down His life for us. So what’s stopping us from doing the same?…

    Jesus’ commands us in Matthew 28:19 to “go and make disciples of all nations”. Dr. Allen McWhite successfully portrayed what Christ envisioned when He left the disciples with this final command. We live in a culture where everyone is committed to making their own souls content. We are not called to a life filled with our own selfish desires. As Dr. Allen McWhite says, “we are called to be Godly people in a God-less world”.…

    I think I've learned many different things from the readings and the power points that differ from what I initially thought about each of the three monotheistic religions we talked about, and some that remain in line with what I believed or had heard about each of these three religions. I would like to first talk about christianity, I learned a lot about christianity in these last few weeks, things that I,ve never heard of even though I am a christian my self, I am a devoted roman catholic and I myself had a lot of misconceptions about my own religion, just imagine how it went with the other two of the monotheistic religions we talked about in class. For example I had no clue that in the begining of christianity christian had been persecuted, I had no idea I guess I had the common misconseption that most christians have that christianity emerged as apopular religion that grew fast and strong without any oposition.…

    When I review what we have learn in this class I realized how much I didn’t know about Jesus, or even anything in the book. I’ve learned a lot that I never knew, but some of the stuff I have learn is actually relevant to me and my life, even when I thought none of it would be. The concepts that I think are relevant to me and my life the most would be from the Prison Letters of Paul, when Paul was in the Philippian prison. While Paul was in prison he was still joyful even when he was in hardship.…

    Everything we do must be with the same motivating, consuming passion that Jesus had to win the lost. We have been given the Holy Spirit which gives us that same passion as Christ.

Living a life in The Holy Spirit we know he will show us who we are to reach, preach, and…
