Faith that Works

This past Sunday morning at Believers Fellowship, we began studying through the Book of James. I believe that this is a very important book for our times.

During the Reformation the Protestant Reformers highlighted the message of books like Romans and Galatians. They did so because those books clearly lay out that salvation is by faith apart from works. They stressed this in protest to the works system of the Roman Catholic Church.

Today we have to stress, however, that real faith is demonstrated by works. Just because we are saved by faith apart from works does not mean that real faith doesn’t issue in good works.

I meet many today who are confused on this. They either think that they can have faith and live any way they want, or they do not understand how genuine faith works its way out in their lives because they haven’t been well taught.

James will help us with this.

Join us Sunday and go online to believers-fellowship.org.
