Yoke


a WORD from God's Book

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Don't plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.

I, the LORD, am your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt so you would no longer be slaves. I have lifted the yoke of slavery from your neck so you can walk free with your heads held high.

I have heard Israel saying, `You disciplined me severely, but I deserved it. I was like a calf that needed to be trained for the yoke and plow. Turn me again to you and restore me, for you alone are the LORD my God.

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."

Isn't it obvious that faith and works are yoked partners, that faith expresses itself in works? That the works are "works of faith"?

Deuteronomy 22:10 Leviticus 26:13 Jeremiah 31:18 Matthew 11:29 ,30 James 2:22
