The Living Dead

James 2:26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

It seems that our society is overwhelmed with zombies and death nowadays. In the 70's a movie came out called "The Night of the Living Dead". This movie was about dead people coming out of the ground and feasting on the brains of the living. I remember thinking that we could have solved this problem by sending them all to DC. They would have starved to death looking for brains there, hahaha.

God is telling us this morning that we can't say we are alive and still be dead. Many Christians are living in this nation who are professors of salvation but lack the Spirit. James says you cannot profess the Spirit and have no works. Our works are what shows our salvation unto others. If they don't see our works then how will they see salvation?

How could a faith that can't bring you twenty miles down the road to worship Christ who saved you take you to Heaven? How can a faith that can't bring you to glorify Him through your words and actions bring you into everlasting life with God?

Let me ask you a question... What about your life? It really doesn't matter about others, only you. You are probably alone reading this, so answer it truthfully. Are you walking through life still dead in sin? Are you trying to become something called a Christian, or have you surrendered your life to the master potter who will form and create you into a true Christian? Like a zombie, do you continue to search and search, wondering around? Mindlessly walking about with your arms stretched in front of you but still dead? No life? No breath? No direction? No rest or peace?

Come to the only one I know who can raise the dead unto life. His name is Jesus!
