[Message]Pastor Jung Myeong Seok   [Scriptures]James 2:14,17       14)What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but had no deeds? Can such a faith save them?
17)In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Hallelujah! I bid you the love of the eternal God and the peace of the Holy Son.
For everything youdo in your life, youhave to moveandput things into practice. Only then will youshine.
A cheetah's most distinct skill and traitis 'speed'.A cheetahis lovely even when it’s sitting quietly because its face is pretty. But indeed, it is the most beautiful and really shines when it is running.It runs as fast as130 kilometers an hour within 30 seconds.It glows as it runs and its body shape shines when it runs.Because it is moving, its distinct traitshines, so wecannot help but acknowledge that it is ‘the king of speed;the fastest on the ground.’
Youhaveto take action with steeltoo.Only then will youmake ‘something useful’ thatshines.If youtook action with steeland made ‘a refrigerator,’ then youmust use it. Only then will it shine.You have to use the things youhave made. Only then will youshine and also gain.Therefore, ‘You should make something by taking action and use what youhave made in a satisfying way.’You have to use something by taking action;only then will yougain.You have to gain by taking action;only then will youknow how much youwill gain.
You learned the Word of God, right? Why do you learn it?You learn it so that you will know. But know what?You learn the Wordin order to know the Trinity, in order to know the one who will save you, in order to know why you were born andin order to know God’s Will toward human beings.
Once youhave learned it,youmust take action.You have to take action;only then will you come to know the power and authority of the Word.While doing so, you will also discover even more aboutGod’s history, the Trinityand the Lord,and will acknowledge them clearly.Since you take action at that level, you will not be shaken, you will be abundantly full of love, and you will get up again and take action even if things are difficult.
Consider flowing water. It flowscontinually every day.Like flowing water, it is to take action continuallyevery day.Just as water flowsfrom streams to rivers and from rivers to the ocean without stopping, it is to raise yourlevel and take action continually.
The more stairs you climb, the higher levels you willreach.In the same way, the more youkeep thinking and taking action according to God’s Word, the deeper things youwill realize, the higher level things you will doand the furtheryou will develop.
The more people cut grass and prune the trees in the mountains, the wider the trails will become, the more the environment will transform, and the more beautiful and attractive the tree formswill become.
Likewise, the more you take action, the more it will show;the more you take action, the more you will gain;the more you take action, the higher your level will become;and the more you take action, the further you will develop.Therefore, you must surely take action no matter what the circumstances are.
If you are late, take action being late. If you have failed, then take action with what remains.
The days of the past will not come again.Whether they were difficult or pleasant, they end according to whatever we have done. Therefore, I bless all of you to live a life that shinesby taking action.
