Read this first: James 2:24
Does Paul later contradict James's words here (Rom 3:28)? No. They both know it is only faith in the Lord which saves, and that God credits righteousness to us when we believe (v23; Rom 4:18-24). Here, James is just insisting that our faith must be a deep trust which rewrites our whole lives, and not just a vague "I believe" (v18,19). Real faith will change how we behave.
Based on the sermon “Two tests of faith”
