A-God's gift of freedom
L-The Greatest Expression of Faith
"For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, it makes no difference to God whether we are circumcised or not circumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love." Galatians 5:6
We can be the nicest person in the world, but without faith, it means nothing.
We can give all the money we have, but without faith, it means nothing.
We can serve until we can't serve anymore, but without faith, it means nothing.
We can attend Church every Wednesday and Sunday, but without faith, it means nothing.
We can be morally good, but without faith, it means nothing.
We can say all the right things, but without faith it means nothing.
We can follow all the rules, but without faith, it means nothing.
Brethren, we are saved by faith. All of our good deeds, nice words, etc are useless if we don't have faith.
The greatest expression of faith is love.
Do you know why?
"I tell you, her sins-and they are many-have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love. Then Jesus said to the woman, ''Yours sins are forgiven.'" Luke 7:47-48
-Love is an overflow of God's forgiveness through Christ. When we realize the depth of God's love for us, and how much we have been forgiven, the more and more we express love for Him and others.
S-Are you aware of God's grace and forgiveness for your life? If so, is love an overflow of your faith in Him?
