JAMES: INTRODUCTION (James 1:1)

We are beginning a new Bible study in the book of James.  Join us as we learn what James has to say about the practical application of a victorious Christian life.  Its teachings apply to all Christians, in all places, and at all periods.

The Holy Spirit, through James, has given us a letter which had the purpose of insisting on a belief that behaves.  Paul tells us that faith is the root of salvation; James tells us that works are the fruit of salvation. 

Or, we can express it this way: Faith is the cause of salvation, and works are the result of salvation.
