UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE: Some people make bold claims about the standards by which they live, but their actions deny those claims. How can we tell when someone is genuine? James says that the one who has faith will demonstrate that faith by his or her works, as did Abraham and Rahab.
CONCLUDING REFLECTION: It is important that we are both hearers and doers of the Word of God. We need not broadcast our good works but allow those works to speak for themselves so that God, who sees our faith at work, will reward us, whether privately or publicly. People do not care how much we know until they know how much we care.
PRAYER: LORD, help us to walk by faith and to be fruitful in that endeavor. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
