In this week’s episode, we’re wrestling with a tough but vital question: Is faith alone under fire? James 2 has long been a battleground text in the debate over justification, especially when James says that a person is “justified by works and not by faith alone.” That sounds like a direct challenge to sola fide, the Reformation conviction that we are saved by faith in Christ alone. So what do we do with it?We’ll take a closer look at the context of James' words, the nature of saving faith, and how this passage complements, not contradicts, Paul’s teaching on justification. Join us as we explore how works flow from faith, not toward salvation, and why holding fast to sola fide (faith alone) is still a hill worth dying on.Thanks for listening!Book Recommendation:What is Faith?
