Meditation 6/28-7/4 Faith and Works Jas. 2:20-26 NASB
But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;
and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.
You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
James 2:20-26 NASB

This interpretation should have a foot note to it that JAMES was referring to being justified by man with works, not GOD. Because without faith it is impossible to please GOD. Not by works lest any man should boast. PAUL and JAMES were talking about two different types of work and to two different audiences.
