A Faith That Doesn’t Save.

James 2:14-20

We are saved by grace through faith. • John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave

His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”

• Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

• Romans 4:5: “Not to him who works but to him who believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”

• 2 Corinthians 13:5: “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.”

A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that believes but doesn’t work.

Genuine faith results in works.

A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that hears but does not do.

• See James 1:22-27.

• See Matthew 7:24-27.

• Jeremiah 23:29: “Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”

A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that hears but does not do.

• Hebrews 4:12 13‑ : “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged ‑ sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

• Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.”

A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that sees but doesn’t care.
