Given the gap between people and the Almighty God, no one is able to come close
to Him on their own. But since nothing is impossible for God, He created a plan
through which any sinner, regardless of how bad he is, can enter His presence,
get His attention and receive His blessings.

With theoretical faith everyone believes in God. Some believe in and accept Jesus as their
Saviour. They believe in His Word, in His prophets and in His Church. But when it comes
to practising what they preach, they are no longer willing to obey.
Since faith demands obedience, attitude and action, it’s difficult for this kind of believer to take possession of God’s promises. Hence the majority of people who believe in a Great God but live miserable lives.Their faith is not followed by works.
Faith without obedience can help a person who is on his deathbed, as it did the thief on the cross. But in any other circumstance, we as Christians must practise our faith on a daily basis in order to conquer its benefits and, above all, to conquer the salvation of our souls. If a person does not have faith to conquer small things, how will he ever conquer the greatest prize of all, which is the salvation of his soul?
To obey the Word of God is to practise faith, and vice versa. Faith in action makes a person deserving of God - like Abraham. He was considered a just man - deserving of God’s blessings because he obeyed, He practised his faith. As it is written, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called.” (Hebrews 11.8)
Whoever wants to receive answers from God must manifest his faith first! Abraham materialised his faith through his obedience. That was enough for him to be considered just and deserving in God’s eyes. Not only did he believe, but he took action based on his belief.
We can say that faith without works is lethal; since it makes a person think that having faith alone is enough. Obedience to God’s Word makes a person worthy, righteous and holy before Him. As a result, God’s promises are fulfilled.
May God bless you all abundantly
