James 2:17 Isn't it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense?
We can profess to have all the faith in the world but only our actions will prove it to be true. As we begin our new life with God we all have a responsibilty. In 1Corinthians 12 the Bible talks about us all having different kinds of gifts, different types kinds of work to do, different kinds of service; but they are all given by the same Spirit, The Spirit of God, who has a plan and a purpose for each of us, Because of His plan and purpose for us each we will all be led into different social areas. Sadly I can't get into your area and you can't get into mine. We can end up in the same job, the same Church etc, but God's plan and purpose allows me to walk the road He has planned for me and you to walk the road He has plnned for you. The decision to walk the road with Him He leaves to us. So when we decide not to obey His plan for us we can rob others of experiencing the gifts He has in store for them and the Lordship of our lives,
Step 12 says 'Carried the message to others who still suffer and practice these principles (God's principles) in all our affairs' That is faith in action and that is what God wants from us as we walk this road of recovery together.
