Crosswalk : Never Be Lazy

While God justifies sinners by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, a saving faith is always an active faith.

Laziness has no place in the Christian life.

In Romans 12:11, Paul instructs the church in Rome to not allow their zeal to be without action.

Zeal without action defames the glory of Christ and accomplishes nothing.

To this end, we must be mindful not to be lazy in our love for and service to Christ and others.
