Can My Faith Save Me?

Jun 7, 2026    Pastor Joshua Hurlburt

Not all faith has the power to save. James 2:14 asks whether faith without deeds can truly save us. Dead faith produces no life change, while demonic faith believes correct doctrine but refuses to follow Jesus. Only living faith transforms us, evidenced through actions like loving enemies, serving others, and showing practical compassion. Abraham and Rahab demonstrated living faith through their deeds, proving that genuine faith and works operate together. You cannot manufacture saving faith through religious activities or moral behavior - it is a gift from Jesus. The crucial question is not how much faith you have, but whether your faith is real and transformative.
