Another Evans quote
"My faith must be practical. In fact, my faith is not faith unless it is practical, for 'faith without works is dead' (James 2;26).
Jeremiah shows me what practical faith is. Although the Babylonian army was at the gates of Jerusalem, laying siege to it, God told Jeremiah that the day would come when He would restore the captivity of His people and return the land to them. As proof of that restoration, God told Jeremiah to buy a field from his uncle and lay away the deed in a safe place, to be used when the Jews were once again back in their own land (Jer. 32:6-15). Jeremiah did so thus showing how totally he trusted the word of God."
