Text: Eph 2:8-10, James 2: 14-26
1. REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU SAY
James 2:14 "What good is it my brother if a man claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such `faith' save him?"
2. REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU FEEL
James 2:17, 18 “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.”
Somebody said, "Faith is like calories. You can't see them but you can sure see the results."
3. REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE
James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that -- and shudder!"
4. REAL FAITH IS SOMETHING YOU DO
James 2:20-26
2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith."
CONCLUSION: Has your faith in Christ radically changed your life? Are you doing what God has prepared for you to do?
