Faith Works: A Healthy Faith
08/24/08
Dr. Phil Wilkes, James 2:14-26
James is a book written to Jewish Christians to help them understand the necessity of living out their faith in Christ. This message takes a look at the importance of practicing one’s faith each day. James wants his readers to understand that simply having right doctrine, participating in religious services and even being baptized is not enough if a person is not living out the faith they profess. In fact, James will tell us that faith without works is a dead faith. Good works are the result of faith in Jesus Christ. They are the result of allowing Christ to work in your life. Works do not earn salvation but they are the evidence of one’s faith in Christ. Over the next several weeks we will take a look at how one lives out their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
