There is a faith that works, and a faith that doesn't. In this message from James 2:1-9, Pastor Dennis walks through what it means to have a faith that refuses favoritism and treats every person with the value God has already placed in them. You were not saved simply to go to heaven someday; you were saved to be the salt and light of Christ right here, right now.
In this message:
- Why faith only works when it aligns with God's Word and God's will
- The difference between what we confess and what we actually live
- Why God shows no favoritism, and why that settles the matter for us
- The "royal law" of loving your neighbor, and the "if" in God's will for your life
- How favoritism stops being an accident and becomes a habit
- The scale illustration: why the balance of justice is not you or me, but Jesus
