Works And Faith

Works And Faith

James 2:24 

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 

Rom 3:28 

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

James says that a man is not justified by faith only, whereas Romans states a man IS justified without deeds of the law, (commandments). Paul wrote in Galatians;

Gal 5:18 

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 

Why? Because the Word, the Truth, the two greatest commandments are the law. That is spiritual living from your true spirit.

Paul goes on to state what the works are of the flesh.

Gal 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 

What is the opposite of works?

Gal 5:22-24 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 

Helping an old lady across the street is the end result fulfilling a spiritual act from the fruits of the spirit.

James 2:18 

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
