James 2:14-26 | May 25, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith
In our exploration of James 2:14-26, we're challenged to examine the authenticity of our faith. The central message is clear: if we don't live it, we simply don't believe it. This passage confronts us with the uncomfortable truth that faith without works is dead. We're reminded of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, not as a means of salvation, but as evidence of his already-existing faith. This story beautifully illustrates how true faith inevitably leads to obedience and action. As we reflect on our own lives, we must ask ourselves: Does our conduct match our creed? Are we merely paying lip service to our beliefs, or are we allowing our faith to transform us and compel us to serve others? Let's challenge ourselves to move beyond 'easy believism' and embrace a faith that is alive, active, and evident in how we treat those in need around us.
