Maintenance Needed

Here is a analogy about your walk/faith with Christ

You come to me and say ,I need a car ? So I give you a car its a free gift you don’t need to do a thing for me to give you this car it's absolutely free.

That’s it you have a car ,now do you need to do anything else with the car ?

Yes ! You have to maintain the car ,you have to perform maintenance on the car. If you don't the car will get to looking raged ,not run right and eventually break down and you wont have a car anymore.

The thing that starts our Faith /Walk is a relationship with Christ /Salvation that is a free gift. Is there anything else that needs to be done? Yes I'm not saying you earn Salvation Ephesians 2 make it very clear that's not possible nor am I saying you could lose it .

That's a different discussion ,I'm speaking of our faith /walk with Christ ( our relationship )

I think our faith /walk with Christ is similar to a cars needs. If we don't read Gods word ,study God's word ,dwell on God's word ,put into action God's word ,live God's word ,and practice God's word ,then your faith/walk with Christ will break down, it will become useless ,it will be evidence free, action free. And maybe, dare I say it ,even not have faith/walk with Christ.

Evaluate your faith/ walk with Christ ,Are you performing maintenance necessary to maintain proper faith/walk or is it maintenance free.

Remember 7 days not in the Word makes one weak.

James 2:22a22 You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions,  (WNT)

Does you faith /walk co-operate with your actions ? If not there are thing mentioned above you probably need to do.

Faith with out action and evidence is dead James 2:26 b( my paraphrase )
