"F" word is FAITH!  A faith that works. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26.  The Bible teaches that true saving faith is always accompanied by fruit and will result in good works.  Many misunderstand the message of James. He was not talking about the faith with works, but a faith THAT works. And there is an eternity's worth of difference between the two. Some accused of attempting to answer Paul in this passage. Since James wrote his letters in 48AD and Paul did not write the Roman letter until at least 58AD, James and Paul were coming at the same issue from different perspectives. Paul was writing to the Judaizers who were saying that one had to add works of the law to faith in order to receive salvation. Thus his emphasis was on faith alone as the basis for salvation. James, on the other hand, was writing to people who went to the other extreme. They claimed to have faith, in reality, had only intellectual asset. Therefore, his emphasis was on what Jesus called the "fruit" of our faith.  James was simply arguing for the evidence of faith.  Paul consistently emphasized that no one enters God's  kingdom except by faith and by faith alone.  James was in agreement with him. He began his letter saying, "God chose to give us birth thought the word of truth" James 1:18 James was simply reinforcing the point that good works are the NATURAL response of TRUE SAVING FAITH.  He was not saying that works are the requirements "for" salvation, but that they are the RESULT "OF" our salvation.  As the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead.  It is not faith with works, at the issue here but a faith THAT works. Paul reminded us that "we are His workmanship, CREATED IN Christ Jesus , FOR GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them Ephesians 2:10. We are saved by faith alone, but faith that saves is never alone.  REMEMBER "F"  WORD "FAITH" THAT works that pleases God. So I'm telling you, you tell somebody, and somebody tells someone else...be a "seed planter" for Jesus...FAITH THAT WORKS.
