Yes, this is so true. It's never about any of us, it's always about Jesus!

Right much different than the Old Testament and what James says how it has to demonstrate itself in action.

If you want men to know you have faith it requires actions/deeds/words. God already knows what trust in Him is "true" because He knows the hearts of all men. He doesn't need to wait to see by how we live. Some Christians languish in immaturity and are called carnal by Paul in 1 Corinthians. Some sin so badly they are killed by the Lord as discipline yet Paul says they are still saved when that occurs. We can't add a requirement to faith in Christ of "actions later on" to the gospel or this is adding To the gospel. James in context is talking to ALREADY saved "brethren" he calls them. He is saying they should stop being partial and spring their faith to life (action) because a dead (inactive) faith isn't good for anyone and it's like seeing the hungry and saying "be blessed and full" without actually giving someone food. He says " show me your faith apart from works and I'll show you my faith by my works." This is man to man, not man to God it has nothing to do with SOTERIOLOGY how could it, the people James is writing to are already saved. " You believe God is one you do well even the devils believe that and tremble " this is talking about believing there is a god, not having faith in Christ for forgiveness of sins. Christ didn't die for devils so it's impossible to make a comparison there of how they believe and how we believe doe salvation's sake

@@BrockJamesStoryI would beg to differ. When looking at the Old Testament and James, they also say the same concept of true faith manifesting itself in actions, just in a different lens. It takes looking at these books that some people misuse with a different lenses and much prayer.

@@nuriahtracy24 For example in the dispensation of grace you can't know someone is saved based on their works, but James says he will show his faith by his works. You can't show your faith according to Paul because faith is not of works. So if you have faith that is enough to save you, it does not have to demonstrate itself in action./

If you are under the impression that this man is doing any type of proper historical analysis, you are very mistaken. This is pure tripe for any of us who actually take the study of history seriously.
