12 Evidences of Faith | Doing Regular Self Examination: 12 Evidences of Faith (Part 5)

The fifth evidence of genuine faith is a life willing to be examined by God. In this foundational message from James 2, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts counterfeit Christianity that claims belief without repentance or transformation. Saving faith is never mere words or religious tradition—it produces obedience, sacrifice, and visible fruit. Dr. Youssef warns that faith without works is dead, no better than the belief of demons who know the Truth but refuse submission. True believers welcome God’s searching light, allowing the Holy Spirit to expose complacency and produce holy action. This call to regular self-examination guards us from deception and proves our faith is alive, surrendered to Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord.
