Believing but Lost & Condemned

Summary

The sermon explores the epistle of James, emphasizing the folly of law-keeping for salvation and the necessity of mercy and works as evidence of true faith. It distinguishes between mere intellectual belief and genuine saving faith, highlighting that faith without works is dead and cannot save. The preacher warns against false professions of faith, using biblical examples like Judas and Simon the Sorcerer to illustrate those who appear religious but are lost. True salvation is by God's sovereign grace, producing a transformed life marked by obedience and good works as evidence of regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
