So the Lord is telling us that we are to bring about a change that will affect the entire world. This change will be brought about, as those of us called the of Christ (Christians), walk outwardly our active faith.
James 2:18-26
New King James Version
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” (A)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (B)and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works (C)when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see (D)that faith was working together with his works, and by (E)works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (F)“Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called (G)the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, (H)was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
What Does James 2:26 Mean by 'Faith without Works is Dead'?
Here James affirms that deeds (or actions) are the byproduct of a living faith. Works do not justify us or make us righteous before God, nor are they the means to salvation. Rather, our deeds are the fruit that grows from one who is obedient to God’s commands and transformed by His grace.
