Faith Without Works Is Dead
Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from
works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when
he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was
active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and
the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it
was counted to him as righteousness"-- and he was called a friend of
God.
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by
works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another
way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith
apart from works is dead.
James 2:20-26 ESV
