1. A Faith That Doesn’t Save. James 2:14-20

2. We are saved by grace through faith. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Romans 4:5: “Not to him who works but to him who believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 13:5: “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.”

3. A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that believes but doesn’t work. Genuine faith results in works.

4. A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that hears but does not do. See James 1:22-27. See Matthew 7:24-27. Jeremiah 23:29: “Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”

5. A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that hears but does not do. Hebrews 4:12 ‑ 13: “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two ‑ edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.”

6. A faith that doesn’t save is a faith that sees but doesn’t care. See James 1:27. See James 2:2:15-16. See Matthew 23:23.
