Faith that doesn't save!
James 2:14-26
1. 'Faith' that cannot save (James 2:14-20)
- a useless example (v14-17)
- the ultimate example of 'faith' that cannot save (v19)
2. Faith that saves (James 2:18-26)
- faith and actions - "don't just say it, do it!" (v18)
- two examples of faith that saves
- Abraham (v20-24 see also Gen 12:1-4, 22:1-20, Heb 11:17-19)
- Rahab (v25-26 see also Joshua 2:8-13)
3. what James is NOT saying
- Take context into account
- Notice the way words are used
- Compare with the rest of the Bible
- Faith in Action - don't just say it, do it!
