Now, see, now Paul was justifying Abraham by faith. James justified him by works. Paul said Abraham was justified, Romans 4, by faith. And so James comes over and says that he was justified by works. Now, both of them, one confirmed the other. Now, Paul was speaking what God saw: his faith. James is speaking what man saw: his works. And if you say, “I got faith in God,” and afraid to put your faith to work, then it won’t do you no good. You’ve got to launch out. That’s what’s the matter with the peoples today of this world, many of them has faith, but they’re afraid to launch out with it. You’re just afraid to venture a little bit. Just to say, “Well, I can. I can do all things with Christ Who strengthens me.” Amen. Look at Him, said, “Launch out into the deep, and let down for the draught.”
