Faith + Works = A True Christian
“For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead” (James 2:26).
“Wait, a second,” the American churchgoer says, “I thought you just gotta have faith in Jesus to be a Christian.”
This may be cultural Christianity’s gospel but it is not the true biblical gospel. The Bible says there is something more beyond faith to being a genuine Christian. And what is that? Works.
So how do we reconcile what James says, “You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” (James 2:24) with what Paul says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9)?
We’ll discuss how faith integrates with works this week on the radio program and introduce you to a brand new aspect of The Christian Worldview called “FaithWorks Initiative” where you will have the opportunity to put your FAITH to WORK by helping and encouraging our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. Exciting program ... don’t miss it!

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.
