‘Faith made, perfect
Not all faith is saving faith, as
the Bible clearly illustrates, John
writes of certain Pharisees who
believed on Jesus but who did
not confess it, “Lest they should
be put out of the synagogue”
(John. 12:42).
Through James, God informs
us of a faith that is without works
(2:14-26) and calls it a “dead
faith.” Dead, not in the sense of
being non-existent, but in the
sense of being non-productive.
In verses 19, this kind of faith
is compared to the faith of de-
mons, “Thou believest that God
is one; thou doest well, the de-
mons also believe, and shudder.”
The demons DO believe, even
to the point of trembling, but not
to the point of obedience. So, no
matter who owns it or why, God
teaches that this faith without
works is a demon-like faith.
In addition to being “dead”,
this demon faith is without profit
because it is nothing more than
words without deeds. It’s worth-
lessness is illustrated in verses
15 and 16 where it offers mere
words to those who desperately
need food and clothing.
Words of comfort and encour-
agement are appropriate attimes,
but NOT when offered as a sub-
stitute for deeds. For instance,
when the ladies visitation com-
mittee came calling on a sick
sister, they marched rightthrough
her unkept house, past the dirty
dishes and unmade beds, past the
piles of dirty clothes and came to
her bedside. They chatted for a
few minutes (mostly with each
other) and then excused them-
selves with these words of com-
fort, “We do hope you get better.
Be sure to call if there is anything
we can do for you.” Then they
marched out to “minister” else-
where.
What does it profit? Nothing.
What IS the profit in a faith
that is not functional and cannot
be demonstrated.
“...show me thy faith apart
from works, and I by my works
will show the faith.” (vs.8)
Works show faith. What one
does (or fails to do) is a reflection
on what he believes.
This is clearly demonstrated
in the case of the Thessalonians
who became examples to all be-
lievers in sounding forth the word
of the Lord.
Paul says this of them, “In
every place you FAITH to God-
ward is gone forth...”(1 Thess.
1:8)
They showed their faith, and
so did Abraham.
“Thou seestthat faith wrought
with his works, and by works
was faith made perfect.”(James
2:22)
The faith that was reckoned
for righteousness in Abraham
(Romans 4) was made perfect
(i.e. complete) by works. If
Abraham ’ s faith was incomplete
without works, how much more
the faith of others?
No, Paul and James do not
contradict one another.
When James teaches justifi-
cation by works, he speaks of
works that proceed from faith,
and when Paul teaches justifica-
tion by faith, he speaks of faith
that is accomplished by good
works.
This is the faith that worketh
by love, Gal. 5:6.
DAN SHIPLEY
CHURCH OF CHRIST
In view of this, it should be
remembered that the demon-like
faith of James Chapter 2. can
never be saving faith.
The faith that blesses, Saves,
and justifies is ALWAYS
Abrahamic faith. That is the kind
of faith to be rewarded with eter-
nal life in John 3:16. Through
this faith, salvation comes by the
grace of God (Ephesians 2:8).
Saving faith and good works
are interdependent and insepara-
bly bound by Divine truth.
God says, “Show Me their
faith.”
