Faith Without Works Is Dead


Listen Later

Today we're in James 2:14-26 speaking into "Faith without works is dead." Our tendency as human doers is to struggle with the notion that an almighty God forgives us of our sins and gifts us eternal life in His presence by believing in and calling on the resurrected Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and He requires neither works nor sacrifices on our part.

 

But this God of boundless grace and mercy has done just that for His glory alone. However, calling on Jesus as Lord and Savior must be from the heart and it must be real, not merely an emotional reaction coaxed by a gospel sales pitch. When we call Jesus our Lord and Savior we receive new life, and by the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we are to live out transformed lives which work out our salvation. Desiring to love, bless and serve others and to share that same love Christ has for us should be a natural outcome of our salvation. Join us this episode as we look into what Jesus' brother James has to say about this important topic.
