Study Notes
Partiality and Faith
- Showing partiality to the rich and neglecting the poor is sinful and goes against the royal law to "love your neighbor as yourself".
- God has chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom.
- The rich are often the ones who oppress and blaspheme the name of God.
The Law of Liberty
- Whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
- Judgement is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy, but mercy triumphs over judgement.
Faith Without Works
- Faith without works is dead and cannot save.
- Saying "go in peace, be warmed and filled" without providing for the needs of the body is useless.
- Even demons believe in God, but their faith is useless without works.
Examples of Faith and Works
- Abraham was justified by works when he offered Isaac on the altar, and his faith was completed by his works.
- Rahab the prostitute was justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way.
- Faith apart from works is like a body apart from the spirit, which is dead.
