How do we please God? Our Salvation is a free gift, but to please God and to be call His Friend, takes Obedience and Action (WORKS)
Lets see what the Bible Says:
19 Do you think that just believing there’s one God is going to get you anywhere? The demons believe that, too, and it terrifies them!
20 The fact is, faith has to show itself through works performed in faith. If you don’t recognize that, then you’re an empty soul.
21 Wasn't our father Abraham made right with God by laying his son Isaac on the altar?
22 The faith in his heart was made known in his behavior. In fact, his commitment was perfected by his obedience.
23 That’s what Scripture means when it says, “Abraham entrusted himself to God, and God credited him with righteousness.” And living a faithful life earned Abraham the title of “God’s friend.”
24 Just like our father in the faith, we are made right with God through good works, not simply by what we believe or think.
25 Even Rahab the prostitute was made right with God by hiding the spies and aiding in their escape.
26 Removing action from faith is like removing breath from a body. All you have left is a corpse.
James 2 19-26 The Voice Bible.
