What is the connection between faith and deeds (or works)? In the letter James wrote he asks the same question. Consider what he said,
“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?” (James 2:14).
Based on his question, James is making a connection between what you believe and what you do. What you profess to believe should be evident in the way you act or the things you do.
However the verse actually asks two questions. The second question is can such faith save us? I hope there is a question rolling around in your head, because here is the one that is rolling around in mine: What is this type of faith that is connected to works that can save a person? Let’s not stop there but jump all the way in the deep end and make this really personal. Is your faith the type of faith that can save you?
