Faith is like that. Since it can’t be seen, visible results of it prove its existence. You can’t see love, but you can see the results of it. If you tell your spouse you love them, but that’s all you ever do is tell them, do you think they really believe you. What if you never lifted a hand to help them, and never showed your love in visible ways? What if you never said a kind word, but all you ever did was criticize, abuse, and generally mistreat them? Do you think that saying “I love you” would make them believe you. No way! It takes action (works) along with belief (faith) to complete love.
I can believe (Faith) a tree is a peach tree all day long, but if it never produces (Works) a peach, how do I know it’s a peach tree. Maybe it just looks like one, and even if it were, what good would it be. They are not big enough for a shade tree. Listen: Without fruit, a tree is not a fruit tree. It’s the fruit that makes it a fruit tree, not the tree barren of any fruit.
Folks, pray that God will show you how to manifest your faith in Him, into works that give evidence of your faith. Become a fruit bearing Child of God!
