April H.’s Journal

Amen April. I chose the same verse this day of Jan, 19/16 but my post didn't post so below I'll leave my comment. God bless.

This chapter shows us how we need both faith and action, not just faith, or, just actions but both faith and actions. V. 24 (You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.) shows us this and it is verified in Ephesians as well: (Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.) I personally look for opportunities to introduce someone to Jesus. I had a couple of opportunities in the last week, to witness to a couple of people whom I've had to see on a regular basis for a time. I asked them if they know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The responses were rather guarded, so I know they had never made the decision but they have been quite open with me since. I gave out the PTL Gospel booklet as well as a document I've made up with salvation Scriptures on it, basically the "Romans Road to Salvation". Here's a good site with some of the Scriptures I use in mine ( http://www.teenmissions.org/resources/roman-road-to-salvation/ ) with some suggestions for action, like praying daily, attending a Bible preaching church, and telling another believer you've made the decision for Christ. It's past time for the church (body of Christ) to come alive and stand up and be counted. God bless you all.

Every where you go, there is opportunity to help someone. Seek out the orphans and widows and others who are down trodden and show them the LOVE that is Jesus Christ.
