James 2:14ff is what this Sunday's sermon is going to be on. May 6, 2012
1. The NKJV translates the last six words in Greek, "Can faith save him?"
2. The NASB and ESVS translates the same "Can that faith save him?
3. A literal translation would be "Not able the faith to save him."
4. It could be translated "Can that kind of faith save him?"
The focus than is on a particular kind of faith and not just on faith. The context of the destitute brother illustration gives the kind of faith being addressed. A faith which walks it's talk. Many different types of people believe in God. Well, so do the demons but they have one added attribute which is not like the ones who believe. They tremble before God. Neither demons or those exercising the wrong kind of faith will make it into heaven. That kind of faith will not save a person.
What kind of faith do you have?
