The Lord indeed loves the just and the righteous. Praise God that He has made us righteous in Christ.

Soda or water? Burger or fries? Hot or cold? Love or hate? Morning or evening? Pink or blue? Watch a movie or go out? -- These are some of our choices or preferences in our life. We have to deal with these questions almost every day and most of the time, we have answers to these and sometimes, we even have a preference that is not part of the choices. Sometimes, we prefer tea over soda and water; we prefer both burgers and fries. We prefer lukewarm instead of hot or cold; we prefer a little bit of hate and love. For morning and evening, we sometimes prefer noon; pink and blue, sometimes do not cut it so we prefer yellow; and watching a movie or going out, we prefer to sleep. So, this just shows that we really have a lot of preference and we can actually pick something in the middle.

Our verse today is somewhat a choice or a preference. It is not really something we have the power to make by ourselves. However, it is a reality check for us that not everything or not every choice has something that is in between. We don’t always have the luxury to choose something else that is not part of the choices. So, we have to realize that today and ponder. We cannot always have burgers and fries together, but one way or another, we have to choose what we should eat from either of them. Now, for the past reflections, we have always talked about freedom from sin and how we received righteousness through Christ once we received and accepted Him as our Lord and Savior.

Today is different. Paul is ushering us to a different perspective. Instead of preaching about how we will have righteousness once we have the freedom from sin, he is telling us that we have freedom from righteousness too if we are slaves to sin. So, with this idea, we have to realize that we really have only two options. Either we are slaves to sin and freed from righteousness or we are slaves of righteousness and freed from sins. There is no middle ground, either we are former or the latter. Thus, we have to always put in our minds that we cannot say, we are good and righteous while we are still sinning deliberately. We cannot also say that we sin, but we are righteous. Either we are righteous-- imputed by the righteousness of God or we are sinful.

The good news of this is that, although we can't be righteous because we are sinful by nature, through Christ we can be made righteous. So, the only way to be righteous is to be in Christ Jesus our Lord. Being in Christ Jesus and receiving Him as our Lord and Savior will impute to us His righteousness and will give us the power to obey God and to stop sinning to only desire the Will of God. Therefore, there is really no in-between. There is no middle ground. In Christ, we have freedom from sins and we are slaves of righteousness, good, and grace. However, without Christ, just like Paul wrote, we are slaves of sins and free from righteousness. We cannot do both together because the light has no business with the darkness. It cannot be together and it won’t work together.

Most of the time we usually mistake the book of James. There is a lot of people who based their beliefs on good works equal salvation in this book. Well, it is because most people do not understand what James meant by this. We have to understand that the Bible does not contradict itself. The book's contained altogether sums up into the real message which is Christ. Now, if people base their salvation on good works, then it’s like saying that the Bible is with error. So, we have to understand the book of James really well and ask God for His Spirit to minister. We have to make sure that our mind is open and that we understand it with an accepting and submissive heart.

When James mentioned that faith is dead without deeds, he did not mean that our salvation solely depends on work or that our salvation needs to be worked. What James meant by this is that our faith should have a manifestation. Yes, we are saved by grace through faith and this is not from ourselves, but it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). However, God is powerful and His Word and salvation are powerful. It can change a man, it can give us knowledge and wisdom, that is why those who are saved should have a changed life. Those who are saved should manifest what their faith can do.

Now, our verse today is another verse of that which is proving to us that James really did not mean we need to do good works to be saved, but we do good works because we are saved. The wisdom and understanding that we have from our salvation, we have to show this by living a good life and by deeds done in humility. Not because we need to do good works, but because we ought to do good deeds because we are saved. Our salvation will really manifest good works because when Christ died for us, He also gave us the power to do good things and to obey God.

Therefore, as people who are saved, let us not confuse ourselves and think that we deserve this salvation because we are good. Instead, we must always keep in our minds that through our salvation, the wisdom and understanding we received from it will make us able to do good and will ought us to show this faith through good deeds. Again, it is not because we are good, but because our God is good and gracious. Thus, may we always remember that our salvation comes from God alone. We have to be faithful and manifest His salvation through deeds because we are saved, not because we will be saved if we do good deeds.
