| Monday James 2:13 For there will be no mercy for me if I have not been merciful to others. But if I have been merciful, then Your mercy toward me will win out over Your judgment against me. Tuesday James 2:14 Dear brothers and sisters, what is the use of saying I have faith if I don’t prove it by my actions? That kind of faith can’t save anyone. Wednesday James 2:15, 16 Suppose I see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing, and I say, “Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well”-- but then I don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? Thursday James 2:17 So you see, it isn’t enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn’t show itself by good deeds is no faith at all--it is dead and useless. Friday James 2:18Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” I say, “I can’t see your faith if you don‘t have good deeds, but I will show you my faith through my good deeds.” Zingers from Croft M.
