Faith without works of The Law is dead faith
by Rav Sha'ul

James 2

⁸If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture (the Scriptures he is referring to are the Torah and Prophets there was no NT for another 300 years. He is speaking to a Jewish audience), “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; ⁹but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by The Law (specifically the decrees in The Law) as transgressors. ¹⁰For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all (eternal life is promised for perfect obedience). ¹¹For Yahuah who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.”Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. ¹²So speak and so do (talk the talk and walk the walk) as those who will be judged by The Law of liberty (The Law with the death decrees covered by the blood of the lamb that LIBERATE us from the fear of death found in the Death decrees within The Law. Those Death decrees have been covered). ¹³For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy (blood of the Passover Lamb) triumphs over judgment (imposed by the Death decrees in The Law).

¹⁴What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works (of The Law)? Can faith save him? (no) ¹⁵If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? ¹⁷Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

¹⁸But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works (for example having faith in Yahusha as the Passover Lamb is express in our keeping Passover in light of his sacrifice) ¹⁹You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! ²⁰But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹Was not Abraham our father justified by works (not just faith) when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? (If Abraham would not have attempted to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to the command of Yahuah, his faith would have been dead faith. He had to express it through action for it to be reckoned to him as faith)²²Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? ²³And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed Yahuah (by sacrificing Isaac), and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of Yahuah. ²⁴ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. ²⁵Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Every writer in the NT confirms this fact. If you say you have faith and don’t express it through keeping The Law you are a liar and your faith is dead.
