Recently, on a cross-country RV trip, I discovered something new about parking overnight in campgrounds. Each evening, our RV was assigned a specific camping site equipped with water, electric, and sewer hookups that fit our unique vehicle. When we stopped for the night, we found our site number, parked, and connected to our assigned utilities. We found everything we needed in that spot. We weren't allowed to park sideways with the front tires in our designated space and the rear tires in another. We had to use the water, power, and sewer in our assigned spot—not those for the place next to us.

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

—James 2:14 NIV.

Looking around these days, it seems like too many of us who claim to be Christians have been seduced into the notion that salvation is a matter of correct beliefs about Jesus. It’s a scary thought that the devil and we could believe the same things about God with no related behavioral change! Shouldn’t our salvation demonstrate some corresponding change in lifestyle?
