This lesson is on Getting it Done For My Lord: James 2:26 26.so faith without deeds is dead James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. Do you have genuine faith? Are you a genuine Christian? How can you tell? The results of true genuine faith is our actions. If we have genuine faith our actions will show it by a changed life, good deeds, loving service, an active obedience for doing what God wants us to do. You show your faith in God by what you do, not in what you say you believe. Do you know Jesus as your Savior (saved us from our sins) but don't know Him as your Lord? If he is your Lord, your actions will prove it. Lord means "master, ruler, king". To lord over someone is to have authority over them. Do you let go and let Jesus have authority over your life or do you take control? True faith transforms our conduct as well as our thoughts. It produces deeds of loving service. Not as a substitute, but a verification of our faith in Christ. . In other words, WHAT WE DO (after we accept Christ as our Savior) verifies and demonstrates that we are genuine in our faith and in wanting Christ as our Lord (and not just our Savior). Being our Savior is wonderful! But it doesn't stop there. For years I have thought of Him as my Savior but never let him be my Lord! Proof in believing is in the Doing! It's in our actions, our conduct, our active obedience. When we make Christ our Lord, He will have us doing! So I am getting er done for my Lord!
