Evaluating Genuine Faith James 2:14-1914 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says
he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save
him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of
daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in
peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give
them the things which are needed for the body, what
does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not
have works, is dead.18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have
works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works,
and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You
believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the
demons believe—and tremble!

1) What does our Faith “Do”?
2) Do we simply agree that Jesus
was the Son of God or do we
BELIEVE it?
3) What do we profit by professing
Faith ?

1) Do you say, I am for the widows
and the orphans ?
2) What have you done lately?
3) Whom have you fed?
4) To whom have you given
clothes?

1) “Depart in Peace” is like when we
say “Pace”. Do you say that to a
hungry person on the street ?
2) “Be warmed and Filled” – Sarcasm
1) Would the needy person that
has no coat or no food want
your words or …….?
3) Do we really trust that God will take
care of our needs? How so, if when
we see others in need we don’t do
something about it?

1) “Word’s only” – Faith is Dead
1) This is not the Faith that one who truly believes in Christ as Lord & Savior
has.
2) God raised Jesus from the Dead, not so that we would have “Dead faith” but
so that we can be Reincarnated with Living Faith that He will bring all His
good works to pass.
2) So is it Faith or Works?
1) Romans 3:28 ; Galatians 2:16 ; Ephesians 2:8,9
2) It’s not a difference in opinion but rather a different perspective that makes
these two sound different.
3) What role will you play in the benevolence ministry?

1) Are you a “Faith person” not much into all the “works’
2) Show me your “Faith”!

James 2:20-26 Visible Intercession20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was
not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was
made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of
God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the
messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is
dead, so faith without works is dead also.

3) Faith with works justifies man
1) Like a screen door on a
submarine!

A workless faith is a worthless faith.
