Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,’ and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.”
(James 2:23-24)

James isn’t saying I’m saved because of the good works I do, Jesus.

He’s saying if I have true faith, my good works will show it.

However, if I claim to have faith but do the opposite

my claim is false.

True faith is revealed
by what I do.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…we are…created in Christ Jesus to do good works…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

But before I can do good, Jesus

I have to be good.

Bad people do bad things. Good people do good things.

I do what I am.

True, sometimes bad people do good things

usually from an ulterior motive.

Good people often do bad things

because we’re weak…still growing…battling temptation.

But by faith –

through my deepening, daily, 1on1 relationship with You –

those good works are on the way.
