A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
What makes faith living in James 2?
James says faith is visible in actions that respond to God and meet the needs of other people.
Read the passage in context
- James 2:14–26 · KJV
James begins with someone who lacks food and clothing. That practical example prepares the way for Abraham and Rahab later in the passage.
From the passage to daily life
Consider why James starts with speech that offers good wishes without practical help. The example gives the reader a way to test the chapter in daily life.
