“You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did” (22). James warns us against a verbal proclamation of faith that is shallow and useless (17). Real faith, he explains, means trusting God by putting our lives into His hands – like Abraham risking his son, or Rahab choosing God’s people (21, 25). ‘Faith’ is not an idea about God; even demons believe He exists (19). Scriptural faith involves a radical change of heart that sets us walking in a new direction.

Accepting Christ’s grace for ourselves (“the law that gives freedom”) includes seeing others in a new light. As redeemed people, we speak and act out of grace-filled hearts (12).
