Highlight the relationship between faith and works according to the teaching of James

• James outlined the fact that a person gains no profit by merely
  claiming to have faith but not works, 
• Genuine faith is evidenced by works.
  He called on Christians to be doers of the word and not deceive themselves as
  men of faith, by not doing what they professed, 
• Thus faith without works
  is dead. 
• Faith is expressed in practical works like charity/caring
  for the sick, widows, 
• Faith and works are inseparable for, you cannot show
  me your faith with, 
• A person is justified by works and not by faith alone
  For works is the finality of it 
• James taught that people who have belief
  in God without expressing it in actions justify their faith are not different
  from the devil,, 
• For the devil also believes in God but does not do
  God’s work 
• James argued that if Christians are mere hearers, they are like
  a man who observe his face in a mirror, hut as soon as he goes away, forgets
  what his face looks like. 
• For somebody to be truly religious he must briddle
  his tongue, or else his religion is in vain! he is deceiving himself, 
• James
  argues further that Abraham was justified by works when he was ready to offer
  his son Isaac. Thus he justified his faith by works, 
• Again, Rahab the
  harlot was also justified by her works when she protected the spies sent by
  Joshua. She had faith in God and matched it by saving the spies, 
• These
  two people expressed their faiths by their deeds, 
• Faith and works .are
  essential to each other just as the body arid the spirit, 
• Thus, just
  as the body apart from the spirit is dead, faith apart from works is dead.
