James 1 - Sanctification vs. Salvation

Does the Book of James advocate salvation by works? That is an interesting question for the believer to wrestle with. The Book of James is a user's manual for the process after someone becomes a believer. The message of salvation in the Bible is very straightforward. We are saved by grace through faith. But what happens after that? That is the process of sanctification. It is the believer’s response to what Christ has done because we would want to draw closer to Him.
