James: A Life That is Justified
James argues that one is not justified by faith alone if that faith is alone. What he means by this is that there is faith “so-called” that is not the same as saving faith. Saving faith is always accompanied by works. This is consistent with the New Testament witness, that those who are saved also produce fruit. James point to the lives of Abraham and Rahab, who had no mere faith that was lacking good works. Rather, they had saving faith and they demonstrated it through good works.
