James Chapter 2 (Bible Study) (1 of 2)

James 2: Faith Demonstrated by Attitude and Works. (1 of 2)
James 2 emphasizes that genuine Christian faith is demonstrated through attitude and actions, especially in how believers treat the rich and poor without favoritism. Both poverty and riches can be curses, and God opposes social class distinctions within the church. True faith is not mere profession but is evidenced by good works, aligning with Paul's teaching that faith alone saves but must produce fruit. James illustrates this with examples of Abraham and Rahab, showing that faith is perfected and justified by works. Faith without works is dead, just as a body without a spirit is dead.
