1 | What was James then referring to? | Rom 4:1 | sheckey | 119490 | ||
The best way I can describe the connection is not by demeaning faith, but rather by qualifying what kind of faith we are talking about. Take, for example, the parable of the seeds in Matt 13. All of these are examples of a "type" of faith, but only one was truly redeeming faith. What, then, was the differing characteristic of the redeeming faith, it produced fruit (i.e. work). This is James' point. Truly redeeming faith is ALWAYS a faith that produces work. Even the Eph. 2 verse you quoted is followed up by a statement of the purpose of that faith: "to do good works." | ||||||
2 | What was James then referring to? | Rom 4:1 | Rowdy | 119517 | ||
I have to agree with Tim. Nicely done. Yes, indeed it is like a marriage of two into one. God's Grace in man can only produce works of faith to prove that faith and Grace actually exists in the man. Otherwise how could we hope our Father will be able to distinguish us as His children from the rest of world? God bless. --Rowdy |
