Test of True Religion - WNL

Oct 1, 2025    Justin Smart

Are you passing the test—or just pretending? In James 1:26–27, we’re given three clear ways to see if our faith is genuine: the way we talk, the way we treat people, and the way we live set apart. In this message, we unpack the test of the tongue, the test of compassion, and the test of separation. From controlling our words, to showing real love to the overlooked, to staying unstained from the world, James reminds us that true religion isn’t about appearances—it’s about transformation.
