My devotions today too me to the book of James. It seems as though James was more Jewish than Christian based on his theology. He puts forth a works based faith based on what we are to do to please God. The Bible says it is faith alone that saves us. That the finished work of Christ on the cross is enough.
In building the alter of burnt offerings God instructed Moses that no tool was to be used in fitting the stones together. We understand that when it comes to sacrifice nothing we can do will add to what Christ did. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for all men of all time.
So, brother James, we value your words to help us live out the faith we hold and the new life we live. That's all.
