Listen to Pastor Alex Stretch speak about all the Lord has done at True Light Church, located in Southold, NY on the North Fork of Long Island. He teaches biblical principles, using scripture in a personal way.

What does genuine saving faith look like? In James 2:14–26, James teaches that works never lead to saving faith, but saving faith always produces works.Pastor Jared examines four examples of faith and explains that saving faith is more than words, right theology, or an emotional experience. True faith looks to Jesus, repentance of sin, trust in Christ alone for salvation, and produces fruit.

This message explores the difference between outward religion and inward transformation, revealing that new birth is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit; not something we can accomplish through our own efforts. You'll also discover the biblical evidence of genuine salvation and where true assurance is found, not in a prayer, a religious experience, or church membership, but in a life that has been transformed by Christ. If you've ever wrestled with questions about your salvation or wondered what it truly means to be born again, this message will challenge, encourage, and point you to the hope found in Jesus Christ alone.

On this episode of Day by Day, our journey through Romans, Dr. Clif discusses the true nature of saving faith, drawing from Paul's teaching in Romans chapter 4 and the example of Abraham. "Interested in becoming a devoted follower of Christ?" Go to follow.lifeword.org

 In this first message of our new series, Saving Faith, we explore one of the most important questions a person can ever ask: What does it mean to truly believe? Whether you've followed Christ for many years or you're still searching for answers, this message will challenge you to consider one life changing question: Am I simply believing in Jesus, or am I truly following Him?

1. Where and when did this healing take place? What is the significance of the time and place of this miracle?2. Why did Jesus tell them to show themselves to the priests instead of healing them right there?3. Why does Jesus emphasize that the one that returned was a Samaritan?4. Name at least three things that Luke records that the Samaritan did when he was healed.5. What did Jesus mean when He said that his faith has made him well when the other 9 were all healed as well?

Faith in God's forgiveness means savoring the truth that a forgiving God is the most precious reality in the universe.

Today, everyone has natural faith. You step onto an elevator without any thought of its braking system. You fly on an airplane and you sit in a chair, both require natural faith. But in order to be born again, you must have saving faith. To be forgiven of your sins and to be in a right relationship with God, you must have saving faith.Main Points:1. Hebrews 11:6 tells us faith is an essential component of our relationship with God. Without faith, we cannot please God, and we cannot experience the fullness of His blessings in our lives.2. So, what exactly is faith? The Bible defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). In other words, faith is the confident assurance that what we hope for will actually happen, even though we cannot see it with our physical eyes.3. Having faith requires us to believe in God's existence, His love for us, and His ability to do what He has promised. It means trusting in His character and His word, even when circumstances suggest otherwise. It means putting our full confidence in Him and His plan for our lives.Today's Scripture Verses:Hebrews 11:6 - “And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”Ephesians 2:8 - “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”2 Corinthians 5:7 - “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

When Jesus rebuked the disciples for having “little faith” in Matthew 8, He was not speaking of saving faith—He was addressing the practical, daily faith needed to trust Him in the middle of a storm. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that when intimacy with God weakens, fear and panic can quickly take over. Fear-conquering faith requires absolute trust in God's sovereignty. It is the kind of faith that depends on Him completely, receives what He provides with an open heart, and believes He is working out His purposes even when the storm is raging. Romans 8:28 assures us that God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Dr. Youssef challenges a common contradiction in the Christian life: we trust God with our eternal souls, yet often hesitate to trust Him with our daily needs. God wants our professed faith to become lived faith—faith that trusts Him with relationships, resources, decisions, fears, and the future. When you walk closely with God and seek Him in prayer at the first sign of fear, your focus shifts from the storm to the Savior. And as your focus remains on Him, fear begins to fade into the background. Prayer: God, I trust You with my salvation, but sometimes I struggle with trusting You with the details of my life. Strengthen my daily living faith so that my trust in You is greater than my fears. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30).

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace Romans 4:23–25 reminds us that the faith God counts as righteousness is available to all who trust in Him. Saving faith believes that Jesus died for our sins and rose again, proving that His work fully secured our justification.

The gospel declares that universal rejection of “God as God” warrants His righteous judgment.

What Is Saving Faith? - James 2:14-26 Aaron Boswell

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. 'Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.' Do you have this kind of faith? Saving faith. You see, faith is like a key. There are many similar keys, but only one can open the door of Heaven. Let me explain first what saving faith is not. It's isn't a blind leap into the dark and it's not merely intellectual. Saving faith is not temporary faith, either. It is fully trusting in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life. It's not just believing that Jesus could be a way to get into Heaven or that He was a good man, it is a life fully surrendered and trusting Him. So have you put your faith in Jesus alone? It's the most important decision you could ever make. If you are ready to know for sure that Heaven will be your home one day, you just have to accept God's gift of grace in Jesus. For more information, visit ShareLife.Today.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under Grace What kind of faith can stare down impossible circumstances and still trust God? Abraham's example in Romans 4 shows us a faith that hopes, believes, perseveres, and acts on God's promises.

In John 4:46–54, Jesus encounters a desperate father whose son is at the point of death. The official travels a great distance, pleading for Jesus to come and heal his child. But instead of going with him, Jesus simply speaks a word—and the man is faced with a choice: will he trust what Jesus has said, or will he demand proof before he believes? This passage challenges us to consider the nature of genuine faith. Is our trust in Christ dependent on what we can see, or are we willing to take Him at His word? The official's faith grows from desperation to confidence as he learns that Jesus' power is not limited by distance, circumstance, or human understanding. This message explores what it means to trust God when we cannot yet see the outcome, and how faith is strengthened when we learn to rest in the promises of Christ rather than our own certainty. Sometimes the greatest miracles begin with simply believing what Jesus has said.

Rev. Patrick Hines, James Thornton, Henry Johnson, and Ruling Elder Ryan Kiser walk through the Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 14 "Of Saving Faith"

In this episode of the Sharing Grace Podcast, we unpack the powerful story of Rahab in Joshua 2 and discover how saving faith can rise from the most unexpected places. From fear to courage, shame to legacy, Rahab's journey reminds us that it's never too late to trust God, change sides, and believe Him before the walls fall.

Joshua's mission to “take the hill” was about more than land—it was about preparing the way for Jesus, the true Savior (Yeshua), who would secure our salvation on the cross. This message connects that bigger story to our lives today: God is still calling people to step out in faith and take the “hill” He's placed in front of them.Through the story of Rahab, we see what real, saving faith looks like—confessional, confident, courageous, and concerned for others. Despite her past, God redeemed her story and used her in a powerful way, even placing her in the lineage of Jesus. It's a reminder that no one is too far gone and that God specializes in transformation.This message challenges you to ask: What is your hill? And are you willing to trust God enough to take it?
