Faith in action

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

-Jesus (after washing His disciples feet).

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. "

-Jesus

When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

-Matthew 14:14 (then fed them)

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

-James 2:14-17

-Crew (collecting blankets)

Because He first loved us.

What are you worth?

Jesus was always thinking of others. He was thinking of you when He said "Come to me all who are weak and weary and I will give you rest". It was you He was thinking about when He said "I have not come to condemn the world(you), but to save the world" (you).

And Jesus was thinking of you as He hung on one of the most violent tools of execution when He shouted "It is finished"

What was finished?

His quest to save you! He came to seek you and give you the opportunity today (right now), to know that He (who created you) would die for you.

Why did He do that?

Because you have lived your life for yourself and turned your back on your creator.

Jesus did His part. Today it is your turn. He isn't going to force you, He loves you too much to force you. He wants you to choose. And because of what He did for you, today you have the opportunity to choose life!

Jesus believes you are worth dying for.

Will you accept His offer?
