James 2:14-17 is often used to prove that good works are necessary for a person to have what they call final salvation before God. But what James is actually doing is calling for born-again people to apply what we believe. It is a powerful passage. But in order to get the most of it, we need to understand it correctly: James was addressing Christian believers, not unbelievers. For the Jewish people, providing and caring for the poor was fundamental for living out the command to love God and love others.<\/p>\n

Jesus isn\u2019t saying that our acts toward the poor and needy are what save us. But if our hearts have truly been transformed, we will <\/em>demonstrate that by being compassionate, welcoming, loving, and generous to others\u2014especially the \u201cleast of these.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
