Digging Deeper James 2:18-19 Points to Ponder

Remember this week we will be doing 4 Digging Deeper Victory Call's to clear the way next week for the series on modesty.

James 2:18-19
But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe-and shudder!

Points to Ponder
I grew up believing I was a Christian because I believed in Jesus Christ. I knew He died on the cross for my sins. I knew He was the Son of God. I believed in heaven and hell. I believed all that. But in July 1983, God touched my life and gave life to my dead spirit; I was born-again. I was saved by His grace. All those things I knew became more than head knowledge; they became heart truths that I believed by faith.

In all those years prior to my conversion, it never occurred to me that the demons knew all the things that I knew. They knew Jesus died; that He is the Son of God. They knew there is a heaven and there is a hell. They had experienced both. Yet, for all their knowledge, they are not saved.

So let me ask you today. Do you know Jesus personally or do you just know all about Him? If you never have asked Jesus to save you, trusting and believing that only He can, won't you today? You won't get into heaven by chance or accident. You are not saved by any of your own efforts, good works or good intentions. You are not saved because you are the right religion, or in the right family. There is nothing you can do that will surpass the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just necessary for your salvation it is also sufficient. If you would like to know how you can be saved please email me at dhunt@americaskeswick.org and I will gladly share with you the gospel that can set you free. It's not my opinion that matters it is God's truth and His power that saves.
