In a lot of ways, I suppose, talk is cheap. It’s not what we say that necessarily matters, it’s what we do that often defines us. This is exactly the point that James makes regarding our faith – it’s not just claiming to have faith that matters – it’s demonstrating that faith by what we do.
In James 2:18-26, our author argues that we need to show our faith by our loving actions. Four things show up in this passage: 1) Self-Styled Religion is not Saving Faith; 2) Intellectual Agreement is not Saving Faith; 3) Belief Without Behavior is not Saving Faith; and 4) Faith Without Deeds is Dead and Cannot Save.
Our actions prove the reality of our profession.
James 2:18-26
