Presentation transcript:

Will I have a genuine Christian faith that… Is more than just words? “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?” James 2:14

“But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds “But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.” James 2:18

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have “faith” but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? James 2:14

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

Will I have a genuine Christian faith that… 2) Is more than just emotions? “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” James 2:15-16

“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:17-18

Will I have a genuine Christian faith that… 3) Is more than just knowledge? “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that – and shudder.” James 2:19

Will I have a genuine Christian faith that… 4) Supernaturally flows and shows? “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” James 2:17

“Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

“If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.” 1 John 1:6

“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him. Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:5-6

“We who are Jews by birth and not ‘Gentile sinners’ know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.” Galatians 2:15-16

Faith is the root of salvation, and works are the fruit of salvation.

The Widow’s Actions “I’m not angry at the man who did this The Widow’s Actions “I’m not angry at the man who did this.” “May God forgive you!” “And we also forgive you.”

The Broadcaster’s Words “Egyptian Christians are made of steel.” “How great is this amount of forgiveness you have.” “If it was my father, I could never say this.”

“These people have so much forgiveness.” “These people are made from a different substance.”

“If you’re saved and you know it, then your life will surely show it.”
