Faith Works

Spiritual life is not invisible. When you experience new spiritual life through faith in Christ you are given a new heart (2 Cor. 5:17), old things have passed away, all things have become new, you are raised to new life, and you are born again. This new reality of life in Christ WILL WORK ITSELF OUT in your life. This doesn’t look like perfection but it will certainly be reflected in progress in the same direction. Like a wounded, suffocated, or netted fish we may struggle to swim at times but even that struggle is a sign of life. FAITH WORKS.

Action Step:
What is God doing in your life today? The greatest travesty would be for you or I to read or hear this passage and walk away today, thinking about someone else.
Examine yourself!

Reflect > Confess > Rest > Repent

Know that even the conviction of sin in your life is evidence that God is working in your life!
