James 1:19-25-Just Do It-July 21, 2024am

Pastor Matt takes us into this section to show us that a Living Faith is obedient. Jesus strengthened The Law and made it even harder to follow. We need to study God’s word and work to follow His commands. Our saving grace is that the indwelt Holy Spirit will live those commands through us, accomplishing our sanctification. We cant do it on our own, but we must start the process by beginning the work. Salvation is through Christ alone, but working to live His commands is a fruit of that salvation.   

Living Faith is

*Real; 1:2-2:27 it’s tested, holy, compassionate and visible

*Humble; 3:1-5:6 it’s self aware, selfless, submissive and sympathetic

*Expectant; 5:7-5:20 it’s persevering and praying.
