Faith without deeds is dead

James 2:14-26
Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Abraham believed God, and t was credited to him as righteousness. A person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Faith that stops at words is not faith at all. Even demons believe in God, and fear him, but that won't have them from God's judgment.
Real faith works,God accepted Abraham and Rahab because their faith resulted in action: it was genuine(真正).
If what we believe does not affect the way we live, what we do, it is dead.
James teaching here has been (wrongly) used by some to defend a doctrine of salvation by works.
Why?
Faith without action is a mind in heart, it need courage to be an action, so without deeds is empty faith.
Don't let faith become a custom in our life, let face the challenge to do the work that God like us to do.
How?
Faith do not stop at word but in action.
