    Saved By Faith Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 23, 2025
     | 176 views

    Our justification, our salvation is not a performance-based salvation. We are saved by faith.

    We all agree that God is perfectly holy. We know that we are sinners, and we are unclean and not worthy to stand before Holy God.

    Useless Faith Series

    Faith is so much more than a passive agreement to a set of doctrines. Saving faith transforms the one who believes. Without this transformation, how will anyone know whether we are saved, or merely pretending to be a follower of Christ?

    JAMES 2:20-26 USELESS FAITH “Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; ...read more

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The flesh is a built-in law of failure, making it impossible for the natural man to please or serve God. It is a compulsive inner force inherited from man’s fall, which expresses itself in general and specific rebellion against God and His righteousness. The flesh can ...read more
