Faith and Works
James is not saying that we are saved by works.
He is saying that faith and works cannot be separated.
There is no such thing in his mind as faith apart from works.
2. Belief in God apart from works means nothing
James
If belief in God alone were enough to save then the demons would be saved.
We act as if good thoughts and positive feelings and well wishes actually help people.
We cannot help everyone but we have to help some people.
3. Actions do not save but they are proof of a faith that does.
James 1:
James 2:
The examples of Abraham and Rahab are examples of faith in action that did save each of them.
Abraham was called righteous by God through faith but that faith was proved by his actions.
Rahab was saved not because she believed in the Israelites and their God alone, but because she took action and hid the spies and she and her house were saved from physical destruction.
Living out our beliefs are what makes them faith and faith is what saves us.
