James prompts us in James 2:15-26 not to be dead Christians, but to be those that are working for the Kingdom, to have fruit in our spiritual lives. While these acts will never save us, there should be evidence of our salvation.
Do you have what it takes? When we consider Hebrews 11:1-27 and how these that have gone before us chose to live by faith, it can be overwhelming. Yet it comes from small steps of obedience, as we submit to our Savior, and chose to live by faith!
