Salvation By Grace

From Truth for Life “Faith, True or False”

• The discussion in James chapter 2 is NOT faith vs. works but true faith vs. false faith
• The presence of deeds cannot be used to argue the presence of faith, but the absence of these deeds can be used to argue the absence of faith
• There is and educational dimension in coming to saving faith
  • There are propositions laid out in the bible for us which are to be believed (ie, Jesus is the Son of God, the Trinity, etc.) but the believing of these propositions is not to be equated with genuine saving faith, because it is possible to believe propositions intellectually without consenting to the impact of the propositions on our lives
