Do you believe in God? So do the devils… and they tremble.
But are they saved?
In this eye-opening episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster takes us deep into James chapter 2 to uncover the sobering truth: Belief alone is not enough. Real faith is more than mental agreement—it shows up in your life.
📖 Here’s what you’ll learn in this powerful devotion:
✅ Why belief in God is not the same as saving faith
✅ What the Bible means by “faith without works is dead”
✅ How justification works—and why only God can justify
✅ The role of grace, faith, and evidence in salvation
✅ What sets living faith apart from lifeless religion
✅ Why the resurrection proves our justification
🎶 With a reflection on the classic hymn The Old Account Was Settled, Pastor Webster reminds us that when God justifies, it’s settled—for good.
⚠️ Don’t settle for a shallow belief. Real faith transforms you—and it always bears fruit.
