Read this first: James 2:20
James's critic thinks faith is useless (v18). And it is, if no good works flow from it (v17). But, equally, good works without real faith (just general belief - v19) are vain too, and that's this man! So James next describes two believers whose lives in dark times prove true faith and works always go together. We need Christian mentors who are clear examples of such faith.
Based on the sermon “Faith: dead or alive?”
