Daily Devo #283 (week #71): "Is Belief Enough?" Part 2 James 2:21- #MondayMotivation

Last week we talked about the dangers of having faith in Christ but not ACTUALLY following Him. James calls that DEAD FAITH and it's practically worthless! We all struggle with that at times, so let's not judge!

James gave a rebuttal to the person who wrongly says, But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds. Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds." As I said last week, genuine faith doesn't ALWAYS result in good works... although it should, which is what James is trying to motivate!

James went on to talk about the DEAD FAITH of demons, which is a pretty radical illustration! The faith of demons is DEAD in that it's useless. They believe but they do nothing based on their belief.

Next James brought Abraham into the picture, which is where we pick up today... James 2:21-23...
