WORD AND WORSHIP

FAITH SHOWS ITSELF IN LOVE

Love each other. This is what I’m commanding you to do.
John 15:17 SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS
In this passage, Christ repeats the command to love each other. By
10:30 am in the Fellowship Hall
love, believers are held together, and love is the mark of true believ-
ers. Jesus emphasized this command because he knew how many
false Christians would arise—how many would praise faith with ele-
gant words and a great show but wouldn’t back up their words. Just
as God’s holy name is dishonored and used for evil, and just as LADIES BIBLE STUDY
Christianity, the church, and everything that is holy is misused, so 10:30 am
also the names of faith, love, and good works will also be used for a
false show and mask. For the devil doesn’t want to be as dark as he
is painted, but he wants to shine in the fine clothes of God’s Word,
the Christian church, faith, and love.

So Christ teaches us that it’s not enough to praise faith and Christ, WEDNESDAY BIBLE CLASS
but we also need to produce Christian fruit. For where these fruits 10:00 AM
aren’t evident, or where the opposite appears, Christ is certainly not
present. In that case, only a false name exists. That’s why we must
say to these types of people, “I hear that beautiful and glorious
name, which is noble and worthy of honor. But what about you?”
Similarly, the evil spirit said to the sons of Sceva, “I know Jesus, and
I’m acquainted with Paul, but who are you”? (Acts 19-15).

But some may object, “Doesn’t faith justify and save us without
works?” Yes, that’s true. But where’s your faith? How does it show
itself? Faith must never be useless, deaf, dead, or in a state of de-
cay. But it must be a living tree that bursts forth with fruit. That’s the
difference between genuine faith and false faith. Where there’s true
faith, it will show itself in a person’s life.
