Stirred By The Scriptures

There is one truth that as a follower of Jesus I cannot ignore.  The life I say I have, is the life I must be willing to live.  James says it this way, “so faith without deeds is dead.” (James 2:26) Paul in his letter to the Ephesians uses different words but they carry the same idea, “Be imitators of God…and live a life of love.” (5:1,2)  To be a follower of Jesus is more than accumulating head knowledge, signing off on a creed and then living anyway we please.  The beauty of the Christian life is it can be seen.  The sad reality is it can be mere words and have no impact.  You and I need to see each day to go and live the words of Christ.
