Faith That Saves and Faith That Serves – Series 1-10

Faith That Saves and Faith That Serves is a comprehensive ten-essay KJV Bible study examining the proper place and application of faith throughout Scripture. Beginning with the empty hand that receives Christ’s finished salvation, the series distinguishes saving faith from Christian faithfulness, the faith of Jesus Christ from faith in Jesus Christ, grace from works, and justification before God from the visible testimony produced by obedience. It carefully addresses the supposed conflict between Paul and James, walking by faith rather than sight, faith versus presumption, the shield of faith, believing prayer, weak and shipwrecked faith, eternal security, faithful service, and reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ. Through careful attention to biblical wording, context, audience, and dispensational setting, the series rejects both works-based salvation and the modern idea that faith is a mystical force for compelling God to grant human desires. Readers will understand that salvation is received freely and instantly through faith in Christ, while useful Christian service requires continuing obedience, doctrinal steadfastness, endurance, prayer, and faithfulness over a lifetime.
