VOD Galations 5:6b

Galations 5:6
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.


Isn't that so true?  As a Christian, we are called to love one another!  In verse 13 it says, "serve one another humbly in love". Faith is so much more than just saying you believe...it's actually SHOWING it.  and our faith we have in Jesus Christ should be shown to the world through our love!  "and they'll know we are christians by our love".. thats from a song that stuck out to me before.. mainly because it's true.  But yeah! if you read James 2, you'll see that having faith without deeds/actions makes no sense at all! like i'm serious! haha Knowing something and doing nothing is TOTALLY different from knowing something and doing it!.. The comparison made in James is that even DEMONS know who God is, but that doesn't mean they will be saved.  They don't follow Christ; they don't have true faith.  Here's the verse if you're interested:
James 2:18-19
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.  You believe that there is one God.  Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder.
I just find that so powerful! haah the "show me your faith without deeds"...mannn sometimes i feel like i'm the man who tries to show that, and when you think about it, it's so foolish!  Faith without deeds is meaningless!  verse 26 of that chapter says, "As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." 
Anyways, as Christians, we ought to love one another and show to the world that we are different through Christ's love in us.  And if you truly are a Christian and say you love God, make sure your faith and love for Him has deeds as well!  You should be spending time with Him whenever possible!.. If you love God, honestly, how hard can it be to spend a few minutes here and there with Him? just reading His word, just talking to Him, just worshipping Him, just... CHILLIN with Him?  I know i have a lot of time for my friends, so I should def have enough time to spend a few minutes here and there with God!..even if its rather short.

Anyways, Smile guys! be Happy! and LOVE GOD, everyone else and yourself! :)
