Faith That Works
Series: James
Read James 1:1-13
What is the relationship between faith and works?
Read Ephesians 2:10, James 2:14-26
Does scripture contradict itself? Are works necessary for salvation? Is Faith apart from works dead? Why do you think some Christians are divided on the topic of faith vs. works?
Read Ephesians 2:8-9
How do you define faith? Why does James say that faith without works is dead?
Read Philippians 2:11-13
What is the difference between "believing" and "genuine faith"?
What is the result of a faith that works? What would having faith without works look like in your life?
In what area of life (work, relationships, etc.) is it most difficult for you to put your faith into practice? Why? What blocks your faith from expressing itself in this way?
Even as believers, our hearts drift toward both of these errors: trying to earn God’s favor through our performance and reducing our faith to mere verbal/ mental assent. How have you seen this in your life?
