2 James 2 - Part 1 Show no partiality - Do not judge on outward characteristics Obey the royal law Failing on one point of the law makes you accountable for all of it Mercy trumps judgment 1.How would you describe saving faith? The Epistle of James 2: Saving Faith Eph 2:8,9 2 Cor 5:7 Heb 11:6 Rom 14:23 Matt 7:21 By Faith … Heb 11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Hebrew 11:1-3

3 The Epistle of James 2: James 2: According to Wiersbe what is dead faith? 2.How do you recognize people with dead faith? 3.What Illustration did James give that depicts a dead faith? 4.What is the worst danger of dead faith? – Personal Question: How does it make you feel? Galatians 6:10 Matthew 25:40 1 John 3:17-18 Matthew 5:16 Matthew7:26 It is faith that justifies alone, but faith that justifies can never be alone Martin Luther / John Calvin

4 The Epistle of James 2: James 2: How can someone show their faith without deeds? Do demons believe in Jesus Christ? – Do they submit to Jesus? – How does this emphasize the difference between dead faith and genuine saving faith? 5. In demonic faith, what has been added to the enlightened intellect of dead faith? Mark 3:11 Luke 8:30,31 Mark 5:1-13

5 The Epistle of James 2: James 2: What is dynamic faith based upon? – What does it involve? What does it lead to? 7.Which two bible characters does James reference? – What did they have in common? 8.How can you tell if a person is justified? Jos 2: Rom 10:17 Romans 4

6 The Epistle of James 2: James 2: What set Rahab apart from the other citizens of Jericho? Why should Rahab’s inclusion in this passage be a great encouragement to modern-day Christians? 10.How does Satan try to thwart people from having true saving faith? Why does he do this?

7 The Epistle of James 2: Going Deeper Matthew Matthew 25: What does this parable reveal about the relationship between faith and works? – How is the King able to tell which are his true subjects? Ephesians 2:8-10 – What more do you learn about the relationship between salvation and works? Luke 19:1-10 – What does this incident reveal about the transforming nature of saving faith?

8 The Epistle of James 2: Challenges: What have you learned about the dangers of only doing good works? – Of only head knowledge? If you were tried in a court of law for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? What are some of the simple but concrete “faith steps” you could take today to force yourself out of your “comfort zone?”
