    Blessings Through Obedience

    Contributed by David Cambridge on Aug 3, 2002
    based on 30 ratings
     | 4,756 views

    This lesson aims to demonstrate the distinction between ’works’ and ’obedience.’ We certainly cannot earn our salvation but OBEDIENCE is necessary.

    Blessings Through Obedience Introduction 1. On the one hand, the Scriptures teach that we are saved by faith, not by works: "8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) 2. On the ...read more

    James warns us that faith that does nothing at all is not real faith. Faith can be either dead, demonic, but God is looking for dynamic faith from His followers.

    Read Text: James 2:14-26 Over the centuries, the human race has passed along alot of wisdom from generation to generation. “Wise old sayings” are a part of every day life, and we use them without thinking. “A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.” Lots of great insight into life is passed ...read more

    The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings

    Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

    When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more

    Faith that Fails Not all faith is powerful. There is a faith that fails. There is a faith that is worthless. James says that faith without works is dead.

    We treat the Word of God like an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet. We pick up and take the things that appeal to us, but leave behind and untouched things that challenge us. Why have 10 Commandments when you can enjoy only 8?

    When I was in college, there was a restaurant that we loved to go to. It was an all you could eat type of place, which explains why I look the way I look today. We would go and stand in line in the buffet and pick all those things we wanted to eat -- shrimp, crab, clams, hushpuppies, French ...read more

    Faith and works are not mutually exclusive - only two sides of the same coin.

    James 2 vv 14-26 Don’t just sit there. Do something! My dearest Sally, I love you more than anything else in the whole world. I would climb the highest mountain just to be with you.

    A neglected friendship teaches that faith and works must be the "best of friends."

    On a pleasant leisurely day this past summer, I drove my car up the steep hill on Urf Road in the little town of Cowlesville, and stopped by the childhood home of my best friend from middle school, Bret. Bret and I spent a lot of time together during the summers and did the kinds of things that ...read more

    There’s no conflict between faith and works in the Bible- nor in James. Genuine faith will lead to works. (slight evangelistic edge to sermon)

    James is battling those who say you are saved by faith and can live as you want.

    WILL YOUR FAITH GET YOU TO HEAVEN? James 2:14-26 This is the passage that some people believe that James contradicts Paul. It seems on the surface that this is true. In Romans 3:28, Paul specifically says that a person is justified by faith without the works of the law. Yet we are told by James ...read more
