Faith or Works or both? Justify “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law” – Romans 3:38 “You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone” – James 2:24 Justify “to absolve or declare free of blame” “to prove to be right, valid or real”

Faith or Works or both? Cause & Effect Paul: Salvation is a free gift; through faith: by grace alone James: How is our faith demonstrated in daily living? “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast” – Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIVUK)

What kind of faith? 3 Types of Counterfeit Faith Authentic Faith Dead faith Demonic faith Deceptive faith Authentic Faith “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love” – Galatians 5:6 “…faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead” – v. 17 “Even the demons believe there is one God – and shudder!” – v. 19 “…faith without deeds is useless” – v. 20
