The Leftovers
Episode 15 - James 2:14-26
The relationship between faith and works represents a crucial balance in Christian living. While salvation comes through grace and faith alone, genuine faith naturally produces good works as its evidence. This dynamic plays out through three stages: justification by faith, ongoing sanctification through obedience, and ultimate glorification. Pride can distort this understanding, leading to either legalism or casual grace. The key lies in responding to God's mercy with humble, grateful service rather than obligation or self-righteousness.
