James 2:14 - 17 NLT What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have
faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say,
“Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t
give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by
itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23 MSG Even though I am free of the demands and
expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in
order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous
moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I
didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their
world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just
about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-
saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk about it; I
wanted to be in on it!

Romans 10:13-15 NLT For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be
saved. “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And
how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they
hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them
without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of
messengers who bring good news!”
