Faith is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Christianity. Many people claim to have faith, but James challenges us to examine whether our faith is real. The Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine.”
Not all faith is saving faith.
Some faith is dead—it has no life, no fruit, no power.
Some faith is demonic—it acknowledges truth but does not submit to it.
True faith is active—it produces a transformed life and obedience to God.
Today, James will hold up the mirror again and force us to ask:
Is my faith alive or dead?
