James / Question
Question source
James
James points to Abraham, saying his faith was shown in action when he offered Isaac (James 2:21–22). He also uses Rahab as an example, noting she received and sent out the messengers by another way (James 2:25).
21Wasn`t Abraham, our father, justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;
23and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.
24You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25In like manner wasn`t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
