I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding…. (Philemon 6 NIV)
Faith works! As Dr. Henry Halley noted, “Working faith is a sharing faith.”
Faithful working deepens our understanding of all the good things Jesus has given us. Those good things should then fuel us to share the good things—and the Source of all good things—with others.
I pray that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing that belongs to you in Christ. (Philemon 6 NET)
A faith that merely believes without acting would be an ineffective faith. A faith that works becomes a lifestyle testimony that points others to Jesus.
And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. (Philemon 6 MSG)
It is a double blessing to do good things for others:
- I get to see more of Christ’s blessings.
- Others get to see more of Christ Jesus.
