THE RIGHT KIND OF FAITH Series: A Faith That Works – James 2:14-26 If we are going to go to Heaven, then we must have faith. The question that arises though is, “Faith in what?” There are many different kinds of faith, many are fatal because the object of faith is wrong and has no power to save and cleanse from sin. James addresses this issue here. God wants us to be a people of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith is what pleases the Lord.Hebrews 11:6—But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Faith is not believing in spite of the evidence, but obeying in spite of the consequences. Faith is confidence that God’s Word is true and conviction that acting on that Word will bring His blessing. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We are to be a people of faith, and that faith is transformed into action. 5 Ways You Can Know You’ve Got The Right Kind of Faith.
