Have you ever been frustrated with someone who claims to be a Christian but doesn’t show consistent love or act like a follower of Jesus? Maybe there’s a family member, or a friend, or a person you hear about on the news who shows selfishness and hatred towards others, yet claim they have a relationship with Jesus Christ. James rebukes those who claim to have true faith but in the end, it’s dead because the way they live doesn’t show Christ-centered faith: “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” – James 2:14-19.
