• Works give your faith the energy it needs to come alive. It is not enough to have belief – faith is present when we act on what we say we believe. • YOUR ACTION DEFINES YOUR FAITH. — James 2:14-26 AMP — Acts 4:32 AMP • Do my actions correspond with what I claim to believe? 1. Find out God’s will for your life. 2. Take Action – Decide what actions are needed to work with your faith.
