Erica Chaffin RST 40 SSII Hurst 9/8/03 “Faith in Action” When thinking of heaven, many believe this is a place “good” people go after they die. The term “good,” referring to individuals who have lived a relatively moral existence, being nice to others, being a pillar of the community, generous with their money, et cetera, in a sense “doing” something for those around them. A sort of naughty or nice mentality; be good; and one is rewarded with heaven, be bad; and one is condemned to hell. This “doing,” or works of service, is seen by many as a ticket to heaven, a lifetime achievement award for a job well done. Biblically this is not the case. Many confuse the idea that people of the bible worked their way into heaven, meaning, things that they did were found worthy of God’s praises, and assured them a seat in heaven. It is true, that many did find favor in the eyes of God; however, it was first from God calling them to faith in Him and his promises, which caused them “be made new” actions and live in obedience to Him. James 2:14-26 explains that genuine faith in God results in deeds of righteousness. In James, the clear point is one cannot have faith without deeds. One’s faith in God is what saves a person, and through this trust in God, a person expresses this through acts of love.
