Which would then imply that we must do something (ie: acts of service) in order to earn our way into heaven.<br /> <br /> But there is nothing we could ever do to earn our way into heaven. That's the beauty of Jesus' sacrifice. He gave his life for us freely, and there is nothing we could ever do or give that could repay that kind of gift. I interpret this verse as saying that our faith causes us to live lives of service, not because we have to but because we want to.<br /> <br /> I can also interpret this verse to be saying that if someone says they have faith, but does not show it through their acts (the way they live), that their faith is non-existent or, at the very least, questionable.<br /> <br /> This verse reminds me of another verse (John 13:35) which inspired the song "They'll Know We Are Christians".<br /> <br /> Please understand that this is a very simplified version of what I believe/feel about this verse. Please feel free to share your own thoughts.<br /> <br />Dorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12945293807891021871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28631026.post-65977584785912719562014-02-16T20:53:00.003-06:002014-02-16T21:18:29.568-06:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdEpGi4EU6oAxRGgolEmGqkyRDv16RGFoiP61pbFFg19vgPe4T61T4ExC3kKLwemzzvLIgslHmF3H-LaXdsxQLkbvtnHvh5-2moVWFraMVArbkimK799zETBAT_inxhpWgWOq/s1600/2-16+Philippians.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdEpGi4EU6oAxRGgolEmGqkyRDv16RGFoiP61pbFFg19vgPe4T61T4ExC3kKLwemzzvLIgslHmF3H-LaXdsxQLkbvtnHvh5-2moVWFraMVArbkimK799zETBAT_inxhpWgWOq/s1600/2-16+Philippians.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: right;">original image courtesy <a href="http://pixabay.com/">pixabay.com</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <br />Dorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12945293807891021871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28631026.post-55462714321472037352014-02-15T20:32:00.003-06:002014-02-15T20:32:40.543-06:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaY4EmVw8lPa63nnGiw9QYx-FBXvGsUlraRsVNdPUZupUgpq5jMcl3nZQdlOttMmGOtV_W9aoCXt7WUn9Z9VwmNhyi4ijD4Y596iA_TjX3WZU8ShcoDSACKCZV3HvHHcF1_VV/s1600/2-15+1+John.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKaY4EmVw8lPa63nnGiw9QYx-FBXvGsUlraRsVNdPUZupUgpq5jMcl3nZQdlOttMmGOtV_W9aoCXt7WUn9Z9VwmNhyi4ijD4Y596iA_TjX3WZU8ShcoDSACKCZV3HvHHcF1_VV/s1600/2-15+1+John.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: right;">original image courtesy <a href="http://pixabay.com/">pixabay.com</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <br />Dorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12945293807891021871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28631026.post-74076915883526176062014-02-14T07:00:00.000-06:002014-02-14T07:00:10.783-06:00<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ3sZZ-qPFQcRsWM6yqqUsjiQXNdQ05tbTPeqMmQ5HGxlEPCdiiciLABe0-_kAfGbJcpHFt6UQa-zUNemPsQX9x85XEz6Z2PNCEaVFZX4CuqmR25RkuYn0LXD0OA_4OibOM0FN/s1600/2-14+Luke.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ3sZZ-qPFQcRsWM6yqqUsjiQXNdQ05tbTPeqMmQ5HGxlEPCdiiciLABe0-_kAfGbJcpHFt6UQa-zUNemPsQX9x85XEz6Z2PNCEaVFZX4CuqmR25RkuYn0LXD0OA_4OibOM0FN/s1600/2-14+Luke.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: right;">original image courtesy <a href="http://pixabay.com/">pixabay.com</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> My wish to all who see this post, on this day when many people focus on romantic love, is that each and everyone of you has peace.
