The Book of Exploits: Demonstrating Faith — Over the years, many of the great champions of the faith have derided James because they believed James was too closely aligned with a theology of salvation connected to works. However, in this exposition of the key verses on this topic in the book of James, it becomes clear that James didn't trust works for salvation, but recognized their importance in demonstrating that God's people have authentic faith. This is a vital truth for God's people today, since so many preach and teach confusing messages about faith. The main question for us as we examine such teachers is simply, "Does their life, and how they live it, validate the claims they make about faith?" The book of James helps us understand that this is the question we need to ask as we search for truth.
