The Practical Faith

Source

James 3:13 "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.”

As Christians, Jesus Christ is our mentor and we all know the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ is practical. The faith of Jesus Christ is neither vague or in vain as it is true expression of God's love which is evident in our lives. God is spirit and those that worship him, must do so in truth and in spirit. Therefore, we should know God can express Himself in visible even though He is spirit.

Hebrews 11:1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

The verse above tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen as yet. Faith can be defined as an expression of visible forms to give expression to invisible realities, an illustration is that of the four men that carried their friend, who was sick with the palsy to Jesus. The Bible told us that Jesus saw their faith and the substance of their faith was invisible, but the expression of it was visible and by their practical faith, their friend was made whole.

Brethren, you should Let your life reflect the reality thatJesus indeed came in the flesh tones save us from sin. The acknowledgement of what Jesus has done for us by His coming to us should be paramount in our lives. More importantly, you must walk in the light of the Word. For example, it is one thing to know the cure to a problem and it is another thing to get the cure to the problem. The use of Knowledge is not implemented until knowledge becomes understanding.

James 3:13 (Amplified Version) :
Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom.

James 3:13 explains to us that it is only by works of wisdom that we show wisdom. God wants to reveal Jesus to the world in practical terms.
