What is saving faith?

Do you have saving faith?A kind of faith that makes its way out into your everyday life in ways that can be seen by those around you as evidence that you are a new creation in Christ?Would those in your workplace or neighbourhood see evidence of your faith in how you make decisions, spend your time, and steward your finances?Does your faith work?Or would your faith be described more as “inoperative,” “dead,” or “useless”?You might claim to have faith, but … if you had someone probe a bit into your life, they wouldn’t see any evidence of the faith you claim to have?That’s what James is turning our attention to this weekend in James 2:14-26.  He wants us to see the importance of putting our money where our mouths are.  He wants us to get some skin in the game in loving and serving those around us who have physical and urgent needs that God calls us to meet as the evidence of our faith put into action.In this section, James’ hard hitting words aren’t meant to knock us down, but to open our eyes by God’s grace to see areas of our lives where we haven’t been walking in faithfulness to God’s commands.We are so excited to be in this study of James and would love to invite you to join us as we study this incredible portion of Scripture.See you soon!
