James 2:14-26

Convictional, saving faith in the work of Jesus leads to transformed works in my life.

1. A dangerous assumption (vv. 14-17)
"All I need is intellectual faith"
2. A slippery objection (v. 18)
"Some people are just gifted differently"
3. A common confidence (vv. 19-20)
"Right theology is good enough"
4. A foundational conviction (vv. 21-26)
"A Biblical faith is one that acts based on God's revealed Word"
• Abraham: trusted in God's promises
• Rahab: trusted in God's protection

Biblical encouragements
• In complete surrender, rest continually in Christ's finished work
• In the strength of Christ, run daily towards active obedience
