AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 4:1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather humanly speaking, has found? [Has he obtained a favored standing?] |
Bible Question: But isn't the point of our faith in Jesus that we are saved through what he did on the cross? And if so, our faith must have value apart from works or else why would we be saved only through faith? I guess I don't understand what issue James was referring to. I mean was he trying to warn believers that there faith is dead if they don't quit there jobs and move to Africa to start a mission? |
Bible Answer: Dear exogrn, To further help you, I might suggest reading and studying Paul and then James in their entirety if you haven't done so already. Then, you might want to consult a good Commentary, such as Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown (JFB) as a start. Then, depending on your level of interest or how deep you want to go, you might try www.bible.org/docs/jam. They some excellent, well-grounded and in-depth studies on James. I hope this helps. BradK |
