What is True Faith? (James 2:14-26) - Rachel Matson | March 16, 2025The book of James describes an integrated faith & life—a life made whole in its holiness. James was the pastor of the first Christian church in Jerusalem, writing to Jewish believers living outside the nation of Israel. The words of James are God's word for us—relevant and immediately applicable to our lives. As we journey through the book of James, immersing ourselves in the symbolic world + pressing concerns of the first century followers of Jesus, we learn to apply James' message to our lives in the 21st century.The Way Church is a church in Vancouver joining Jesus in the restoration of all things.

Others can only see your faith by your works and by your fruit. You can know who Jesus is in fact but not know him in spirit. It is a living faith that saves us, not saying a prayer. Let there be enough evidence of your faith to convict you in court.

Continuing the series called Counseling from the Whole Counsel of God, today we consider trials of various kinds (1:2) and Gods design for such trials. All peoples are created to worship (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 1:20-21). Instinctively, we give ourselves (our thoughts, feelings, choices, actions; i.e., our worth) to the people and things valued most. And the ways we spend ourselves demonstrate who or what we worship. James 1:1-5 reveals a prescription for godly worship in the midst of and even because of these trials of various kinds (1:2).

This episode will be a little longer than usual because I already told ya'll James is a feast and we don't leave meat on the bone over here! So, listen while you take a nice long walk through your neighborhood, while you drive to the nice Target a couple cities away, or deep clean your kitchen and let's dig in! Before we jump into the next passage in James, let's quickly review where we came from. In last week's episode we explored James 1:1-12. In those first 12 verses we learned that true faith is evident in our submission to God, in our willingness to serve Him. True faith is evident in our steadfast faith in the midst of the trials we face. And true faith is evident in the words that we speak when we confidently ask God for wisdom and when we boast in who our God is regardless of our circumstances. Looking for more ways to connect?

Have you ever met someone who talks a good game but doesn't back it up? Whether it's the friend who promises to help but never shows up or the coworker with big ideas but no follow-through, we all know the frustration of empty words. James confronts a similar issue when it comes to faith: faith without action is like words without deeds—it's empty. Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 2:18-20. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? — James 2:18-20 James makes a comparison today on a topic he has already been building on. He presents a fictional debate between two people who live in two ways: one who claims they have faith without evidence and the other with faith with evidence. This comparison cuts to the core of a decision for Jesus that demonstrates no decisive change. In James' mind, what we might think of as "easy believism" might be a belief, but it is not a living, working, and active faith in Jesus. He calls it foolish, useless (James 2:20), and dead (James 2:17). He then makes another comparison to emphasize the preposterous nature of the logic of "easy believism." He highlights that demons themselves hold an orthodox understanding of God's existence and oneness. They acknowledge the truth of God's sovereignty. They even tremble in fear because they know God's power and authority. However, their faith is not a genuine saving faith because it fails to produce evidence of authentic faith. Their belief does not produce signs of repentance, obedience, or a transformed relationship with God. God is merely a fact they cannot deny, yet it does nothing to change their rebellion. The shocking implication is that "faith without evidence" is similar to the "faith" of demons. Both may believe God exists, believe he is one, know God is sovereign, and tremble in fear before God but demonstrate no demonstrative. Faith that is not demonstrative is demonic. James challenges his readers to examine their proclamation of faith carefully. Is it only acknowledgment, like the demonic, or is it demonstrative? The easiest way to begin is by connecting your faith to straightforward action. Here is a list of seven actions you could take to connect your faith with action. Choose one. Commit to doing it, and let's demonstrate authentic faith to those around us. 1. Serve Someone Look for an opportunity to help someone in need, whether a neighbor, coworker, or stranger. It could be as simple as lending a listening ear, sharing a meal, or helping with a task they can't handle alone. Faith in action serves others selflessly. 2. Speak Life Be intentional with your words. Encourage someone who might be struggling or share a Scripture that has impacted you recently. Let your speech reflect the hope and truth of Christ. 3. Step into Obedience Identify one area where God has been calling you to obedience. Maybe it's forgiving someone, confessing sin, or starting a new habit like daily prayer. Take the first step today, trusting that God's strength will carry you through. 4. Practice Generosity Give something tangible—a financial gift, your time, or resources—to someone or an organization that could use it. Generosity demonstrates trust in God's provision and care for others. 5. Reflect God's Love at Home Sometimes, the most challenging place to live out our faith is with those closest to us. Show patience, kindness, or humility to your spouse, children, or roommates. Let your actions match your faith in Christ's transforming love. 6. Commit to Growth Spend intentional time with God by studying Scripture and praying daily. Then, look for ways to share what you learn with others, making your spiritual growth an encouragement to their faith. 7. Stand for Truth When faced with a situation that challenges your values or beliefs, respond with grace and boldness. Share your faith when opportunities arise, trusting God to use your witness. #FaithInAction, #LivingFaith, #WalkTheTalk ASK THIS: How does your life demonstrate the evidence of your faith? What actions reveal your trust in Christ today? In what ways can you connect faith to service this week? Are there areas where your faith feels more belief than action?

Psalm 16:1-11 Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge. 2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from You.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; You hold my lot. 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also myheart instructs me. 8 I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. 10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let Your holy one see corruption. 11 You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Key Words: Good, Portion, Inheritance, Shaken, Corruption, Life, Joy, Pleasure, Glad Keystone Verse: You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
