A Devotion for your drive into work:
Does the Bible teach salvation by works or by faith? The answer: true faith always produces action, but those actions can never save us—they just prove that our faith is real.
Pastor Brian Noble unpacks Genesis 11–25, Romans 4, and James 2, showing that Abraham’s justification was by faith alone—he simply believed God’s promises, and it was “credited to him as righteousness.” Paul’s point (Romans) is that no one is saved by works; James’ point is that genuine faith cannot help but result in good works as a “byproduct.” When Abraham offered Isaac, he displayed faith in action. The devotional warns against “replacement theology” and emphasizes God’s ongoing covenant with Israel but applies the lesson universally: if Jesus truly changes you, your life will show it. God calls his people to defend biblical truth, live boldly as new creations, and let faith produce active love in the public square each day
