Is your faith real or is it phony? How can someone tell? In James 2, we get a very straight forward teaching from the writer that our faith without works is dead. This would tell us that once we encounter the real Jesus our faith takes on real measurables. Jesus spoke about this in Matthew 7, when he said real believers bear good fruit!
Our works do not earn us salvation but they are our unquenchable response to our salvation. We do not have a works based faith, we have faith based works.
