Faith in action

Faith in action (works) means - fearing the Lord and trusting completely in Him while obeying His call upon our lives. Any other actions (works) that we do become just wood, hay and stubble and have no heavenly value. We can bear no heavenly fruit without abiding (fearing, trusting, obeying) in Him.

Looking at Abraham, as an example, what he did when the Lord God called him -

Abraham feared the Lord.
Abraham immediately responded to God saying "Here I am" and "now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me".

Abraham trusted completely in the Lord.
Abraham trusted in God for he said "I and the lad will go over there and we will worship and return to you' and "God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering".

Abraham obeyed the Lord.
After God had given him the call Abraham immediately responded - he 'rose early in the morning…arose and went to the place of which God had told him" and he 'bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar' and he 'stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son'.

God said to Abraham "In you seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice".

(Genesis chapter 22)

So how does our 'faith in action' measure up -

Do we fear the Lord God Almighty?
(do we have an awe and a reverence for Him, do we honor Him as creator and redeemer God, do we worship Him and glorify His name, do we bless Him for who He is, do we praise His Holy name, do we tremble at His presence, do we prostrate ourselves when we come before His throne)

Do we trust Him completely?
(in all aspects of our lives [that He is the provider, sustainer, redeemer, full of grace and mercy and loving-kindness, righteous, a mighty fortress, deliverer, protector, healer, all-knowing, all powerful, everlasting], when the world says we are foolish for believing the truth of God, when it looks like there is no hope or future, when we are placed into a situation that seems impossible to resolve, when the enemy comes in like a flood against us)

Do we obey His voice and His call upon our lives?
(in everything that He has called us to do, when He has called us to do it - even the little things, even if it is to wait on Him, even if it is not what we want to hear, even if we think that it is too difficult or not worthwhile in our minds, even if it is outside of our comfort zone, even if it is to love the unlovable)
