Faith & Works: A Clarification of "Faith Without Works Is Dead" (James 2:14-26)

Have you ever wondered what James 2:17 means when it says, â€œfaith without works is dead, being aloneâ€? Does this passage from the Bible teach that faith in Christ is insufficient to save you forever without good works in your Christian life? Or, is James 2 teaching that faith alone saves, but genuine saving faith is never really alone since initial faith in Christ for eternal life is always accompanied by good works? Or, is there another interpretation that fits more accurately the divinely inspired details of the passage? This helpful book provides a biblical clarification of the relationship between faith and good works, showing from a detailed and careful study of the context and content of James 2:14-26 that this passage is written to believers who are already eternally saved about an ongoing walk of faith in fellowship with the Lord that results in good works. James 2 is not teaching that both faith and good works are necessary to be eternally saved; nor that initial faith in Christ for salvation necessarily results in an ongoing walk of faith and good works in a Christian's life. Rather, James 2 is written to those who are already believers in Christ who are justified before God but who must continue walking by faith in order to be practically sanctified, have good works that profit others, and justified in the sight of other people.
