 DAILY LIGHT - DECEMBER 22 MORNING


Your work of faith.

This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. — Faith worketh by love. — He that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. — We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. — Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power. — It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

DAILY DEVOTIONS FROM THE DAILY LIGHT

Your work of faith.--1 Thess.1:3

All real work springs out of faith as its root. For true acceptable service is work wrought in God, that is, in the strength of God. To have that strength so that it works in us both to will and to do, there must be the contact of faith. Faith brings us in touch with Him, who is the fountain of all spiritual energy. Virtue, or power, goes out of Christ when the helpless soul is brought by faith in contact with Him. And that power at once begins to work. The work that follows, and is manifested in the service rendered by the believer, is the "work of faith." Faith and works are often contrasted, as if one meant inaction, and the other real effort. To recieve the power and the fulness we need, we have but to present an open channel, a free passage, a longing heart. All our supplies are in Him. If we are straightened, it is in ourselves, for we cannot be straightened in Him.
