How do we know faith without works is dead?

James 2:26 states, 'For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.' This verse underscores the belief that true faith inherently produces good works. In the sermon, it is emphasized that our lives should provide evidence of our faith through our actions, reflecting the transformation that has taken place within us. Without such evidence, we must question whether our faith is genuine. The fruit of our lives serves as a testament to God’s work in us, revealing whether we are bond slaves of Christ, committed to serving Him above all else.
