The Work of Faith - Karen Pourbabaee

“Calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ…” 1 Thessalonians 1:2 NAB

One might say that, as a Christian, faith is our vocation. And, of course, people are known by their vocations, their life’s work, their individualized calling. When a vocation is chosen, we commit our life to its work. In Proverbs 16:3, God asks us: “Commit your work to the Lord…” Our faith must be active and serve the living God, being visible in the world.
 
Each day, arise and ask the Lord—What is my work of faith for today? Truly listen, for He asks us to be rich in good works. (I Timothy 6:18) Might your work today be prayer for someone, acts of kindness, forgiveness of another, witnessing your beliefs in word and deed? Might it be serving those who need to see Jesus in you? “Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16)

Our vocation of faith is a daily and lifelong work in order “to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit…” (Colossians 1:10) It is our faith that bears fruit for the kingdom. “He rewards each one of us according to what our works deserve.” (Psalm 62:12 LB) It is our faith He rewards. “I will demonstrate my faith to you by my works.” (James 2:18) It is our faith that is shown by our works. Our work of faith is superior to our secular work, but God also intends for it to be intertwined. May it be so in your life.

Lord, You have called me to faith in You. Guide and strengthen me in living out my lifelong work of faith, bearing good fruit for Your kingdom. I will demonstrate my faith to You by my works. My faith, without works, is dead, but by Your grace I will keep it alive until You come. Amen.

FREE E-BOOK and Inexpensive Print Copies

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend, family member or inmate (free e-book or $3.66 print copy). Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campuses and online in several languages. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist

Maybe you know someone in prison or just a lost soul that you love who needs to trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior or needs to have their faith encouraged? You can ship single paperback copies directly from Amazon for $3.66 each to an inmate or anyone. For inmates, you just need their facility name, address, inmates name and id number. Most prisons and jails will accept packages directly from places like Amazon. If you are a member of Amazon prime it would ship for free. Just add the person's shipping address when you check out and it goes directly to them. If you try to send it from a personal address, it will be rejected. 

GO HERE to order your copy of Gravity to be sent to your lost friend or family member who is (incarcerated or not) and needs Jesus. Offer them the gift of eternal life in Christ for $3.66. What a great investment.

"Michael, I have ordered books a couple times now and have had nothing but good responses from the inmates that read it. I had one approach me with tears in his eyes thanking me for giving him a book that answered questions he has always wondered about regarding the Bible. I had another one ask me for another copy so he could mail it to his family to read. Another one told me that everyone in his pod was passing it around reading it, the cover made people ask what he was reading. He then asked if I could get more. I would like twenty more books please. It's nice to be able to give a concise apologetic at an affordable price." Gordon, a prison guard who has ordered books."

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time.
