Knowing and Obeying

In the same way faith, if it doesn’t have works, is dead by itself.18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith from my works.

James 2:17-18 (HCSB)

James tells us that our faith is really demonstrated not in knowing (faith) but in obeying (works).  To many who claim to be Christ followers talk about know Christ but don't demonstrate their faith by the actions.  We are to be people of action.  We can not continue to claim that we know Christ and have faith and then refuse to obey Him.  Evaluate yourself are you merely knowing or are you obeying.  There really is a difference.
