Christians must serve God with kindness, love, service

| February 26, 2023 1:00 AM

In the Feb. 17, 2023, Daily Bee, I read the Pastor's Corner column by Pastor Jerry Favor. In it, and I quote, "The Bible clearly explains the way to God is by grace alone without any works on our part whatsoever."

With all due respect, I beg to differ. Referring to James 2-17, "Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself." (New American Standard Bible) Or in the (New Revised Standard Bible), "So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead."

Again, with all due respect to Pastor Favor, I think this should be obvious to true Christians. Our duty is to serve God with kindness, love, gentleness, and service to others.
