Faith That Gets Dirt Under Its Fingernails

FAITH THAT NEVER MOVES IS DEAD James 2:14-17

SEMPER FIDELIS: ALWAYS FAITHFUL Romans 1:5; James 2:19

Faith is not merely believing Jesus existed.

Faith is not merely agreeing Jesus died.

Faith is allegiance to King Jesus.

Faith is loyalty lived out.

Faith is surrender.

Faith is following.

FAITH THAT WORKS James 2:20-26

Faith becomes visible when:

You forgive someone who hurt you.

You bless someone who cannot repay you.

You share your faith with a neighbor.

You serve when nobody notices.

You remain faithful when life becomes difficult.

Faith is invisible until obedience makes it visible
