Q&A: Connection between belief and obedience in John 3:36 — belief leads to obedience; lack of obedience implies lack of faith

Please Stop Saying Faith Is Belief Without Evidence 00:50:36 – 00:52:08

Viewer question from Jacob Englet about John 3:36 and James 2:14-26.

John 3:36: 'Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.' Mike interprets: belief and obedience are directly linked — true belief produces obedience; persistent disobedience reveals absent or weak faith. 'What people do shows you what they believe.' Mike also affirms the questioner's method: determining meaning of words like 'faith' by examining usage in context (not etymology alone), looking at multiple scriptures in agreement.
