Faith is a choice, for life.
When we become followers of Christ, we know we will be changed. Walking with Jesus has always had that effect. Fishermen became disciples. Sick people became well. Blind people became sighted. Faithfulness changes every step we take, for all our lives.
Faith is also a choice for life.
Belief in the resurrected Christ means following in the way of life; there’s no room for lifelessness in an Easter faith. If faithful people fail to use their hearts, hands, and feet in service to those in need, our faith is as good as dead. No matter how rightly we believe, unless we are doing faith — by caring for others, providing for their needs, reaching out to help — unless we are faith-ing with our hands and feet, our faith is as extinct as the dinosaurs.
Let’s practice a walking-around faith, a feeding faith, a giving faith — a faith that is a way of life, for life.
