Friday - 6/29 - Read James 2:14-26
James talks about a dynamic, living faith like Abraham's and Rahab's. What made their faith dynamic and living?
Read Genesis 15:5,6 and compare it to Romans 4:1-5.
Paul says a man is justified by grace through faith alone.
James says a man is justified by what he does also. James 2:24.
Are they contradicting each other?
what kind of justification was Paul talking about in Rom. 4:1-5? Was it before God or man?
What kind of justification was James talking about in James 2:24? Was it before God or man?
What kind of justification is the means of salvation according to Paul in Rom. 4:1-5?
What kind of justification is the evidence of salvation according to James in James 2:23-26?
In 2 Cor. 13:5 Paul exhorts the Corinthians to "examine" themselves to make sure they were really in the faith. Why might this be a great suggestion in light of what James has just said in these verses?
What happens if you fail the test? What should you do?
Read 1 Cor. 11:17-34 for next Sunday
