Tying all of this together, the conclusion brings itself out in the case for works. Many scriptures support this idea that works is the key to Christianity. Even Jesus seems to support this in His teachings, seen in the gospels. Obviously, how we live our daily lives, the things we do that is what determines our faith. If faith without works is dead, then faith with works is living.
Works are what make faith happen, they are what make it alive.
The first step in building a case for faith is to tear down that which has been presented for works. First of all, the arguments that were used from James 2 were illogical and taken out of context. The key word is accompanied. A few sentences later, Abraham s faith is mentioned WITH his works. You see a that a person is not justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
