REAL FAITH
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU SAY (v. 14).Matthew 7:20, 21
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU FEEL (v. 15, 16). 1 John 3:1
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU THINK (v. 18). 2 Corinthians 5:17
* REAL FAITH IS NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE (v. 19).
* REAL FAITH IS SOMETHING YOU DO (v.20-26).

“Examine yourselves=============================
to see if your faith is really genuine.
Test yourselves.
If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you,
it means you have failed the test”
