Faith and Works

Series: James

Summary

David McQueen shares how we can be confident and secure in SAVING faith! The crux of Christianity is wrapped up in one word: Save (Luke 19:10). Different from Paul writing about faith from God’s perspective, the book of James, written by the half-brother to Jesus, addresses faith from a human perspective. James 2:17-19 tells us how faith without works is dead… for even the demons believe and shudder. James and Matthew warn us that one of the ways the enemy keeps people from being saved is to convince them they have faith when they really don’t. Jesus says that faith that saves doesn’t just say the right words, give intellectual assent to right doctrine, but does the will of my Father in heaven. The evidence of saving faith is in the growing fruit, the surrender and obedience to the Lord!
