[571.10 --> 571.96] from that faith. |
[572.46 --> 574.00] Good deeds act as a signal |
[574.00 --> 575.08] to true faith. |
[576.68 --> 577.90] Saved through faith, |
[578.46 --> 578.84] alone. |
[579.30 --> 580.30] But a faith that saves |
[580.30 --> 581.10] is never alone. |
[581.10 --> 584.62] In verse 18 to 19, |
[585.28 --> 586.12] James proposes |
[586.12 --> 587.44] a hypothetical response |
[587.44 --> 588.58] from someone who disagrees |
[588.58 --> 590.10] with his teaching so far. |
[591.94 --> 593.04] But someone will say, |
[593.22 --> 593.84] you have faith, |
[594.10 --> 594.90] I have deeds. |
[595.96 --> 596.90] Show me your faith |
[596.90 --> 597.40] without deeds, |
[597.46 --> 598.02] and I will show you |
[598.02 --> 599.18] my faith by what I do. |
[599.74 --> 600.52] You believe there is |
[600.52 --> 601.34] one God, good. |
[601.94 --> 603.26] Even the demons believe that |
[603.26 --> 604.14] and shudder. |
[608.18 --> 609.68] This opponent is supposing |
[609.68 --> 611.08] that the two can be separated. |
[611.46 --> 612.62] That you can have faith |
[612.62 --> 613.30] without deeds. |
[614.44 --> 615.40] But as we've seen, |
[615.50 --> 616.38] James makes this case |
[616.38 --> 617.12] over and over again |
[617.12 --> 617.82] that if you separate |
[617.82 --> 618.52] faith and deeds, |
[618.60 --> 619.28] then you have a faith |
[619.28 --> 619.90] that is alone. |
[620.96 --> 621.86] A faith that doesn't |
[621.86 --> 622.36] do anything, |
[622.44 --> 623.26] and a faith like that |
[623.26 --> 623.96] is dead. |
[625.56 --> 627.10] So he hits the same point again |
[627.10 --> 628.50] by expressing what |
[628.50 --> 629.88] the second kind of faith is. |
[630.40 --> 631.74] I will show you my faith |
[631.74 --> 632.90] by what I do. |
[633.82 --> 635.56] Deeds following faith. |
[637.06 --> 637.94] Deeds are an expression |
[637.94 --> 638.78] of a true faith |
[638.78 --> 639.52] in the same way |
[639.52 --> 640.66] that an apple on a tree |
[640.66 --> 641.32] tells you, |
[641.92 --> 643.04] you have an apple tree. |
[645.40 --> 646.08] James goes on |
[646.08 --> 646.80] to hit the point home |
[646.80 --> 647.92] by invoking a fundamental |
[647.92 --> 649.02] belief to both Jews |
[649.02 --> 649.68] and the church. |
[650.76 --> 651.38] James writes, |
[651.48 --> 652.22] you believe there is |
[652.22 --> 653.48] one God, good. |
[654.32 --> 654.96] Even the demons |
[654.96 --> 655.98] believe that and shudder. |
[657.06 --> 657.76] The phrase, |
[657.94 --> 658.84] believe God is one, |
[659.38 --> 660.04] that James here |
[660.04 --> 660.74] is referring to |
[660.74 --> 661.98] is one of the core features |
[661.98 --> 663.18] of the Jewish faith. |
[663.30 --> 664.14] This idea of God |
[664.14 --> 664.68] being one |
[664.68 --> 666.74] comes from Deuteronomy 6.4. |
[668.04 --> 669.02] Hear, O Israel, |
[669.52 --> 670.54] the Lord our God, |
[670.94 --> 672.56] the Lord is one. |
[675.28 --> 676.02] God commanded |
[676.02 --> 676.70] the Israelite people |
[676.70 --> 677.92] to keep these words |
[677.92 --> 678.38] to heart, |
[679.06 --> 679.74] to say them |
[679.74 --> 680.94] every single day, |
[681.28 --> 681.84] to write them |
[681.84 --> 682.46] on their walls, |
[682.54 --> 683.10] on their houses, |
[683.10 --> 683.98] and to teach them |
[683.98 --> 685.30] every chance they get. |
[686.58 --> 687.28] James brings up |
[687.28 --> 687.90] this specifically |
[687.90 --> 688.64] because of something |
[688.64 --> 690.26] so clearly commanded |
[690.26 --> 691.24] by God to be memorized |
[691.24 --> 692.52] and recited |
[692.52 --> 693.98] every chance they get |
[693.98 --> 695.14] meant it was important |
[695.14 --> 695.76] to believe. |
[696.30 --> 696.64] In fact, |
[696.68 --> 697.32] it was central |
[697.32 --> 698.00] to their faith. |
[699.64 --> 700.62] He states that |
[700.62 --> 702.06] demons believe this as well. |
[703.08 --> 703.90] He means that as demons |
[703.90 --> 705.04] they know God. |
[705.70 --> 706.62] They believe in him. |
