18 Inches



He says he believes
Jesus Christ is Lord
Son of God, Son of man

Yet that belief hasn’t traveled
Or made its way
18 inches into his heart

There is no desire to know God more
No hunger read His word
Or commune with God through prayer

Obedience is lacking
Holiness is not increasing
The Holy Spirit doesn’t reside within

He continues on in his sin, just like before
No conscience to bother him
Or bring about repentance

He says believes Christ is Lord
His belief hasn’t yet traveled
18 inches into his heart

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.  You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!   But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? – James 2:18-20

The Gospel

The Plan of the Gospel
The Grace of the Gospel
The Gift of the Gospel

The Faith of the Gospel
The Way of the Gospel
The Truth of the Gospel

The Repentance of the Gospel
The Wrath of the Gospel
The Payment of the Gospel

The Death of the Gospel
The Resurrection of the Gospel
The Satisfaction of the Gospel

The Peace of the Gospel
The Life of the Gospel
The Savior of the Gospel
