JAMES;2; 26; For as the body without the spirit is dead,so faith without works is dead also. {The two go hand in hand} They did not realize that their works came by their faith.This is what James was telling them. You can only give to the needy and the poor by faith,because it is faith that causes you to do works. Not realizing that their good deeds were by faith.A man is justified by works and faith, and not faith alone. You may have faith,but you cannot be justified by faith only, there must be evidence of work as well to be justified. And this is the faith you must have in God.
