James 2:14-26 Faith AND Works 1 John 3:16 ‘By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.’ James 2:14-26 2 Counterfeits 1 Authentic James 2:14‘Dead Faith’ What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? James 2:15-17‘Dead Faith’ If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:14-17‘Dead Faith’ Dead faith is lip service, not lifestyle. James 2:18-19‘Demonic Faith’ But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! James 2:18-19‘Demonic Faith’ “ Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Islam—all of them have one common assumption in one way or the other, whether they be pantheistic or theistic, that the means to your destination is good works at the keeping of a certain moral framework, or certain laws, or certain rules.” – Ravi Zacharias James 2:20-24 ‘Authentic Faith’ “But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, James 2:20-24 ‘Authentic Faith’ and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. James 2:20-24 ‘Authentic Faith’ Faith is not just what we believe internally, it’s how we behave externally. James 2:25-26 ‘Authentic Faith’ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. -James
