You are listening to a sermon entitled, A Matter Of Faith by Don Pruitt
"14 ¶ What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have
not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute
of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed
and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to
the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead,
being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me
thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou
believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and
tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son
upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was
faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called
the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not
by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For
as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
(James 2:14-26 AV)
