James 2:
[20] But wilt thou know, O "vain man", that faith without works is dead?
RIGHT ON!!
FAITH "with" a man...WITHOUT GODS WORKS "IN" the man....IS DEAD!
Faith...(a gift from God)...CAN be WITH a man, and then NOT be WITH a man, Because a man by his own FREEWILL...CAN STOP HEARING, BELIEVING, and WILL STOP receiving Gods increased gift of FAITH.
No WORKS of a man, CAN SAVE the man.
(A vain man, to rely on his own "works"!)
Faith...(a gift from God)...THAT continues "WITH" a man, BY mans EFFORTS to continue....is the mans AGREEMENT, Confession (Freely Giving God Authority) to BECOME "MADE" CONVERTED...
BECOMES CONVERTED "BY GODS WORKS".
So absolutely... a mans gift of Faith WITHOUT Gods WORKS IN a man...IS DEAD.
God WORKS IN a man establishes....
ONCE and FOREVER...God WITH "and" IN a man.
THEN is that man JUSTIFIED, "to BE Raised IN Glory" holy whole, body, soul, spirit.
^ Gods Works!
Glory to God,
Taken
