WHOA!
WHAT ABOUT EHPESIANS 28-10?
9
Ephesians 2 8 For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and that not of yourselves it is
the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone
should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
10
James does not contradict Paul
James merely clarifies for us the kind of faith
that saves
We are saved by faith, not works
BUT saving faith will have works that accompany
it
11
faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is
not alone
12
Notice verses 15-16
To fail in the most simple Good work towards a
bro Or sis in need shows That one does not have
a Living faith we can only Be saved by a living
faith Through Jesus Christ!

Be warmed and filled
Shows that the person in question knows the needs
of the destitute brother or sister well, yet does
nothing to help them except offer a few religious
words

NEED AN EXAMPLE?

ABRAHAM
17
Open Your Bibles
Genesis 22
18
James 2
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, 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. 24 You see then that a man is
justified by works, and not by faith only.
