Scripture
Galatians 5:6,13-14
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Observation
I am not saved by works, but by faith. My faith in Christ though, should result in me interacting differently with the world around me. Real, living faith is displayed in the way it affects action. The faith we are commanded to have is a faith which results in Christ’s love being shared with the world.
Application
My faith in God is not supposed to be limited to merely a hidden, private change which goes unnoticed by everyone around me. Christ desires that my faith in Him would result in me becoming a conduit of His love to the world around me. This kind of faith changes the way I see people, the way I speak to people, the way I care for people, the way I love people.
This week I need to watch for opportunities to live out my faith in God, by loving people.
Prayer
God, thank you for loving me enough to take action! Help me to grow in my faith in you, with a faith that causes me to love the way that you love!
