Faith Without Works is Dead, Jim Class Series

#lifepointsa #faith #work
Many people believe God is real, without a doubt, yet so many lives lack the fruit to back that up. Pastor Andy walks us through what James was telling us when he said, “Faith Without Works is Dead.” James 2:17
That might rub some of us the wrong way because we’ve also heard and have been taught the words of Paul: For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Romans 3:28 NIV
James says three things:
HE ASKS THE QUESTION: “What is good?”
HE GIVES AN ILLUSTRATION: Profession of faith should result in a practice of faith- Actions speak louder than words.
HE ANSWER THE QUESTION: The faith that saves is a faith that embraces the truth of the gospel and acts accordingly. We need both faith and works.
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY?: John 15:1-8
1. You are already clean.
2. Pruning is a process.
3. Conformity to God should lead to works, over a period of time.
4. Fruit confirms the root.
