Is Your Faith Real? | James  

James is about our justification before men but not before God. Men can't see our faith but they certainly can see our works. Simple enough, I can choose to have an alive faith or a dead faith, nothing to do with salvation at all. James is really about having a practical faith that helps others and cannot contradict Galatians 2: 16, 2: 21, Ephesians 2: 8,9,10, Romans 4:5, 6, and Romans 11: 6, which clearly seperate faith from works of any kind. Saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.

Amen! Praise GOD for His message. Thank you for the very clear explanation.

Its not just trusting in Jesus , It is trusting in Jesus for His promise to forgive one and give him eternal life!! EXCLUSIVE of WORKS. So, one in a sense NEEDS a CREED .

I thank you Pastor for the fine speech😍

Thank you so much Brother, so refreshing and convicting, it's an odometer to measure up the distance traveled or speedometer to speed, the massage is a FAITHOMETER to measure up the genuineness of faith.

I pray that.

Great message pas

👍👍

Really i encouraged. thank you.

I trust GOD completely with my life. I’ve fought it my whole life and GOD revealed something to be that I had been battling with for 20 years. I need Jesus in my life. I wrote down all of the stuff he reliever es me from and there is no way I could’ve turned from it on my own. I want Jesus to have my whole life and live through me. I’m losing my best-friend and I’m ok with that. I just need other like minded believers to help me navigate this. I trust that GOS will give me those after his own heart. For such a time as this! Thank you Jesus!

@ 34:38 awesome mentality to have

Such a blessing watching this! I was just questioning this earlier today! Been struggling with this!

Great exposition ,Thanku

Amen.

This verses are about proving your faith in eyes of men and beeing profitable becouse only God sees heart and in his shight we are justified by grace trough faith alone and we also need to compare scripture with scripture and God can't contradicts himself : Romans 4:1-6 "What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but unot before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works" We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and his promise of eternal life and security. If you have any questions please adress them in coments.

Thank you for the king James bible

Abba Father, in agreement with this whole message and James 2:14-26 I loose every kind of death faith in my life upon no return in my life, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

New to your channel. I truly enjoyed it and thank you for breaking it down so clearly.

I love your teachings pastor .....where are you located

If anyone reading, please answer. A relative stated that God shows favorites. That certain groups are more prosperous. I told them, he offers favor when we are obedient to him.

Okay, when are you going to make your commercial?

Hello pastor 🙌 John, so glad to have found you on RU-vid. Thank you for your sermon on James. I attended services at the red barn in San Bernardino when we lived in Highland. We missed your presence and teachings for a long time. My husband & I moved to Arizona in 2017. Hope you and your family are going well.

Thief on the cross?

Who is he asking if their faith is real...a new babe in Christ who only can express a mustard seed of faith in Christ , which was just enought to save him. Or a more mature believer in Christ who has grown in the knowledge of Jesus Christ thru the study of the mind of Christ. the doctrine of the bible.

Dead faith had to be real or live faith, first ,in order to be dead. What faith are we talking about here...If it is the faith expressed in Acts:16 :31, ( he doesn't elaborate ) Believe on the lord Jesus Christ ,and at that very moment ,you are saved forever.(along with 39 other things

Smuggling works into the gospel. This is shameful, James is no way saying what this pastor is saying. Can faith save him from the judgement of God for the believer who showed no mercy, read the context pastor. Salvation from sin is not in question. This is sad that pastors are Causing people to dou t their salvation
