Shallowness Faith without Practice James 2:14-26

“If a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?” The Great Question

Two Options Option # 1 You have Faith Option # 2 I have Works (deeds)

How James addresses the Two Options Option # 1 You have Faith Think about hospitality Option # 2 I have Works (deeds) Think about Biblical precedent

Hospitality is not an option “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it: In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead.”

Biblical Precedent Two very interesting Illustrations: Abraham – had faith before his deeds. Gen. 22, Rom. 4:4-10 Heb. 11:17-19 Rahab – had faith in spite of her deeds. Joshua 2:1-9

Faith and Deeds 1. Deeds are the evidence of the Spirit.

Faith and Deeds 1. Deeds are the evidence of the Spirit. 2. Deeds are the expression of gratitude for a changed life.

Faith and Deeds 1. Deeds are the evidence of the Spirit. 2. Deeds are the expression of gratitude for a changed life. 3. Deeds are the means of helping unbelievers come to faith – ministry of reconciliation.

Faith and Deeds 1. Deeds are the evidence of the Spirit. 2. Deeds are the expression of gratitude for a changed life. 3. Deeds are the means of helping unbelievers come to faith – ministry of reconciliation. 4. Deeds are the expressions of help for the body of believer – gifts of the spirit for common good.

So what Now If you are an seeker – you need faith before your deeds have value. If you are a believer – you need to allow your faith to be translated into deeds.
