Does conviction equal "living faith"?
When a man is convinced that the words of Ephesians 4:26, "Be ye angry, and sin not" is a direct command of God, and he discovers that he can achieve all the "blessings" he desires by directing all of his furor against those who oppose him, is it any wonder all of his endeavors are blessed by God? Does it take a "living faith" to believe that you are sinning against God when you do not turn your anger against anyone who opposes your desires?
Where do you find this kind of "faith" ruling the lives and actions of people? Does this make you long for grater achievements in your life?
