Book of James Chapter 2 - Bible Study | Encounter 2020 Men's Retreat

The entire Book of James is a variation of the theme - Authentic faith will be shown through works in the life of a genuine follower of Jesus Christ.

James chapter 2, verses 14-26, are the "heart and soul" of the Book. In just thirteen short verses we see the words faith and works mentioned together ten times.

Many have viewed this portion of James with a great deal of skepticism because he seems to contradict the Apostle Paul's teaching on salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

However, as you will see in this message and the Scripture we examine, the Apostle Paul and James were not at odds with one another. The truth of the matter is that they were both addressing the issue from two different perspectives.

In the end, I believe we will be able to see that both James and Paul agree that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, and the proof is that it will show by how we live!
