Study Notes

Faith and Partiality

  • Faith in Jesus Christ should not be held with partiality (2:1).
  • Showing favoritism leads to evil judgments and thoughts (2:4).

The Poor and the Rich

  • God has chosen the poor to be rich in faith and heirs to the kingdom (2:5).
  • The poor are honored, while the rich often dishonor them (2:6).

Royal Law and Partiality

  • Fulfilling the royal law involves loving one’s neighbor as oneself (2:8).
  • Partiality is considered a sin, making one a transgressor of the law (2:9).

The Whole Law

  • Breaking one point of the law makes one guilty of violating the entire law (2:10).
  • Commands against adultery and murder highlight the consistency of the law (2:11).

Law of Liberty and Judgment

  • Speak and act as those who will be judged by the law of liberty (2:12).
  • Mercy triumphs over judgment, and those who do not show mercy will face severe judgment (2:13).

Faith and Works

  • Faith without works is ineffective; a claim to faith must be paired with action (2:14).
  • An example illustrates that mere words are insufficient if needs are unmet (2:15-16).

Nature of Faith

  • Faith without works is considered dead, emphasizing the necessity of demonstrating faith through deeds (2:17).
  • Authentic faith is evident through actions (2:18).

Belief and Understanding

  • Belief in God is not enough, as even demons believe (2:19).
  • The essential nature of faith is highlighted: it must manifest in works (2:20).

Justification through Works

  • Abraham was justified by his works when he offered Isaac on the altar (2:21).
  • Abraham’s faith was made perfect through actions, fulfilling the scripture about righteousness (2:22-23).

Friendship with God

  • Abraham is referred to as the "friend of God," showcasing his relationship based on faith and deeds (2:23).
  • A man is justified by works, underscoring the active component of faith (2:24).

Rahab’s Justification

  • Rahab the harlot is another example of being justified by works for protecting the messengers (2:25).
  • Just like the body is dead without the spirit, faith is lifeless if not accompanied by works (2:26).
