James teaches us in 2:26 that "as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead". The believer is sustained by the promise of the future and is inspired not by current events but the life imagined. As long as faith is in existence the end of anything cannot be realized. It is not because we earned the right to receive the promises of God because we can never cause God to be better than He already is in our lives. He is good because of His own value and personal excellence. As long as we live on and by faith we defy the consequence of the end of anything. Faith grows beyond conclusions and the end of expectations. Life beyond the end!
