James - The Pillar of Working Faithful Worksheet 6

Worksheet for The Faith of Works

For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?” (James 2:2-4 AV)

118. (Let’s Talk)

What use is faith, if works do not come from it?

Does a person that has faith in Jesus Christ, but lacks the will to build on the Foundation of Jesus Christ through the doing of His Word, receive the same validation as one who completes the works of God?

Should a person that loves Jesus Christ and the LORD GOD, yet conforms to this world with his personal lusts and desires being fulfilled, and neglects to implement the Word of God, be considered a Christian that walks with Jesus Christ?

Does a person that adopts a lifestyle of pleasure and worldliness, but at the same time confesses the Lord Jesus Christ, and gives tithes to the poor on a regular basis, belong to the Kingdom of God?

Does a person that claims to be a Christian, walks on a good path with Jesus Christ, yet often strays to fulfill lusts, and then returns to the same walk over and over and over, receive spiritual growth as a result of trying?

What examples can you share of pretend Christians who know the Word of God, and understand what they should do, but instead do nothing but profess with their lips their beliefs, without implementing the things that the LORD GOD would have them do?

What examples can you share of fake Christian leaders who are guiding unsuspecting young and immature Christians off Christ's spiritual path, who disregard the Word of God, and do works in conflict with the faith they profess?

What examples can you offer of a faithful Christian that has walked strongly in faith and demonstrated that faith through focused and faithful actions based on the Word of God, in spite of the hardship, trouble and oppression that has come?

What examples can you offer of the wicked and arrogant Christian fakes who gain benefit and recognition as a result of “being a person of God”, and who can quote scripture and verse and sing praises in perfect pitch, yet pervert and hide the Word of God from their actions when they are not being watched?
