How to Demonstrate Faith James 2:14-26 Good works performed after salvation are evidence of genuine faith.

Important note James is not: trying to refute the teaching of salvation by grace through faith alone saying that you can lose your salvation explaining how to get to heaven

James is teaching that those who claim to be on the way to heaven must give evidence of their faith by the way they live.
