  4. James 2:14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? • What use is it? • Can that faith save him?

  5. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9).

  7. James 2:15-17 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

  8. How can you tell wind exists?

  9. James 2:18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

  10. James 2:19-20 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

  11. James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

  12. James 2:22-23 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.

  13. James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

  14. James 2:25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

  15. Rahab Abraham Woman Considered to be the father of the Jews A Canaanite from Jericho A holy man A prostitute Man He was prepared to sacrifice his only son She risked her life by protecting Israelite spies

  16. James 2:26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
