    James talks about three kinds of faith.

    This lesson aims to demonstrate the distinction between ’works’ and ’obedience.’ We certainly cannot earn our salvation but OBEDIENCE is necessary.

    Blessings Through Obedience Introduction 1. On the one hand, the Scriptures teach that we are saved by faith, not by works: "8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9) 2.

    The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,756 views

    Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

    When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more

    This sermon is for people who believe the Bible controdicts itself.

    Faith that Saves Are you saved by faith alone; or by faith plus the works that you do.

    Romans 4:1-8 and James 2:14-26 do not contradict each other.

    Listen to these two verses and think to yourself whether or not they contradict each other: "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5).
