Pastor Daniel Goulding · Jul 21, 2025
Drawing from James 2:14–26, Pastor Daniel argues that while salvation is a free gift received through faith and not earned by works, authentic saving faith will always produce visible transformation and good works as its natural fruit. Using Abraham and Rahab as contrasting examples, he warns that a faith confined to church attendance, religious activity, or mere intellectual agreement — without life change — is a dead faith that cannot save, and calls every believer to honest self-examination and full surrender to Jesus.
