James 2:24 Cross References
James 2:24
24: So you see, we are made right with God by what we do, not by faith alone.
James 2:15
- Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing,
- and you say, "Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well"--but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
- So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all--it is dead and useless.
- Now someone may argue, "Some people have faith; others have good deeds." I say, "I can't see your faith if you don't have good deeds, but I will show you my faith through my good deeds."
James 2:21
- Don't you remember that our ancestor Abraham was declared right with God because of what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?
- You see, he was trusting God so much that he was willing to do whatever God told him to do. His faith was made complete by what he did--by his actions.
Psalms 60:12
- With God's help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
