In the 5th Chapter of Mark’s Gospel account, Jesus tells Jairus, who just received a bad report, “Don’t fear, only believe.”
Why would Jesus tell him “only believe?” You could correctly say that it was critical for him to have faith that Jesus could and would heal his daughter. But we need to see that Jesus told him to believe because He could! Think about this….
This should be the natural response of every believer when we encounter the Lord and hear (or read) His Word. This is what believers do.
We believe the Word of the Lord and act on what we are told.
James tells us that faith without corresponding action is dead, or non-productive. Smith Wigglesworth was known to declare “FAITH IS AN ACT!” It is how we are to live in His Kingdom.
