Shine your light

 Shine your light

In the book of Acts we read,

"Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity." Acts 9:36.

If you claim to be a Christian. A true believer in Christ Jesus. When people see your life do they see a life of good works and charity? 

In the book of James we read,

"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do."  James 2:17,18.

Faith in Christ Jesus is essential for our salvation. But our faith must spur us on to do good works in the name of Jesus.

Jesus calls all who believe in Him Salt and light then he states,

“In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven” Matthew 5:16.

It is our deeds that will help draw men and women to know Christ. Our deeds that will cause others to praise our Father in heaven.

So what are your deeds saying about you?

Please think about it.
