Justified by works & faith

Faith w/out works~dead alone

Hebrews 11:6
“But without faith it isimpossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and thathe is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
James 2:5 KJV

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. James 3:13 KJV

Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

I will show you my faith by my works...

These are not by works of man yet through the holy spirit being made subject to the will of Yahweh. Thus in hearing and obedience


Example:
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? James 2:21 KJV

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. James 2:23

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Titus 1:16 - They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate

Romans 3:28 - Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law

Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
