    A Comparison of faith and works.

    JAMES 2:14-26 “A SCREEN DOOR ON A SUBMARINE” A) Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing, * It’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine! * James makes the same point: * Faith without works is dead, noting that works is what defines a Christian life. * There are those who read ...read more

    faith without works is dead

    James 2:19-26 Show Me Your Faith. I once heard a pastor say, “If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” I believe that it was Augustine who said, “Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone.” Good works do not save, we are saved ...read more

    Blessings Through Obedience

    Contributed by David Cambridge on Aug 3, 2002

     | 4,812 views

    This lesson aims to demonstrate the distinction between ’works’ and ’obedience.’ We certainly cannot earn our salvation but OBEDIENCE is necessary.

    Blessings Through Obedience Introduction 1. On the one hand, the Scriptures teach that we are saved by faith, not by works: "8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) 2.

    James warns us that faith that does nothing at all is not real faith. Faith can be either dead, demonic, but God is looking for dynamic faith from His followers.

    The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,779 views

    Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

    When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more

In Romans 3:28, Paul specifically says that a person is justified by faith without the works of the law. Yet we are told by James ...read more
