Show It Off

Have you ever paused to consider the inventions which have radically changed the way we live?  Mr Bill got new waders; instead of “wading” into frigid winter waters, he can stay both dry and warm. Neoprene – a synthetic rubber – changed the sport for duck hunters across America. The word “faith” seems to roll-off the tongues of Believers casually, but real faith is anything but casual!  Words are cheap but putting words to work is conclusive.  “But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6, AMP).  When we say we have faith but do not apply live by faith (apply it to living), there is no evidence of it in our lives nor is there reward. Now, honestly, I have no idea why Mr Bill would deliberately wade into frigid winter waters but this I know: when Believers walk-live by the faith they profess,  the deeper they come to love and trust Christ Who is completely trustworthy and faithful in all things!  Is yours a radical faith – the kind that is showing off its integrity and depth?  If that describes your faith, show it off!
