Question
How can Paul say Abraham was justified by faith while James says he was justified by works?
Answer
Now, if Abraham says, “I got faith in God,” but was afraid to offer his son Isaac, then his faith was no good. Paul justified Abraham by faith, Paul was talking about what God seen in Abraham; but James justified him by works, James was talking about what men seen in Abraham. See? God sees your faith, men sees your works. And if you say you have faith and are afraid to step out and make works out of it, then it don’t do no good, it will never do you any good. You’ve got to believe it, you’ve got to accept it, and you’ve got to act like it, haven’t you?
