There are some things to glean from James, but first you must understand the Jewish framework he came from and that he never spent time with the Lord. He said some good things, but to say that you are justified by works is wrong. His examples of Abram and Rahab break down when studied properly. God was looking for their obedience. From a right perspective, their works were faith in action in response to God’s word.
