Why Some Believers Leave No Evidence
Why dead faith leaves no evidence. Jesus said; you will know a tree by its fruit. James says; faith without works is dead.
A barren Christian life is not a small issue. Dead faith is the sobering condition of professing belief without visible obedience, repentance, or transformation. In this message, Michael Martin opens James 2:17 and Matthew 7:16–20 to show why saving faith always produces fruit, why faith without works is counterfeit, and why Christ calls believers to examine the evidence of their lives. This teaching confronts false assurance while pointing listeners back to union with Jesus Christ, the true Vine, where real spiritual fruit is formed.
