Pastor Manny brings us James 2:14-26, emphasizing that genuine faith is demonstrated through actions and that faith without works is dead. Pastor Manny clarifies that James isn't advocating salvation through works, but rather highlighting that authentic belief in Jesus manifests in tangible deeds. He discusses how easily individuals can become self-deceived through “derailing forces”, believing they are virtuous simply because of feelings or sentiments. This message encourages the audience to cultivate self-awareness, seek feedback from mentors, and strive for a closer relationship with God through repentance and consistent actions.
