Faith is a key element in the Christian life… Sinners are saved by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and the believer must walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7). Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6) and whatever we do apart from faith is sin (Romans 14:23). James2:14-26 teaches the relationship between faith and works. This is important because if we are wrong in this matter we jeopardize our salvation! How can I tell if I have true saving faith?
