James: Faith & Works of the Believer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798698680789)

James was almost left out of the canonization of the scriptures. Those in charge of the canonization thought it was to 'pro Law' and in opposition to Paul. However, Paul was as pro Torah (Law) as James. Simply put, there can be no real redemption without works. Works plays no part in redemption but they are indeed companions in the act of redemption.Redemption is acquired by faith and faith alone. No work can gain one even one ounce of righteousness before G-d. Righteousness is imparted on us, who are not righteous, because of our faith in G-d's redeemer, Yeshua. We receive Yeshua's righteousness and thereby are considered worthy of eternal life.However, this does not negate the fact that true faith produces works or actions. Without actions one is not truly redeemed and will fall short on the Day of Judgment. James brings this point to light better than anyone else in the scriptures. His direct approach is best for this topic. There are those that believe Paul was in opposition to James but this is not the case as Paul also taught that faith and works are companions in redemption.Chapters include: Historical BackgroundChapter 1 - The Mark of True ReligionChapter 2 - Faith, Works and CompassionChapter 3 - The Evil TongueChapter 4 - G-dliness VS WorldlinessChapter 5 - Living the Life of a True BelieverConclusio
