More About This Series
Faith in action if powerful!
This series helps us understand the relationship between faith and works, and why we need both as followers of Christ.
In this series, you'll be encouraged to take action, persevere, trust God's wisdom, and that your words have power. You'll also learn how to get through trials, conquer temptation, and put faith in action.
No one is saved because of what they do, however, our faith is revealed by our actions. Salvation is not by works; it is only by the grace of God. But we do works because we are saved. Not everyone understands that. We don’t need deeds to get to heaven, but because of our faith we should speak life and encouragement to others.
