Devotion to God

1
Devotion to Gods Word

• James 222-24 (NIV)
• 22 You see that his faith and his actions were
  working together, and his faith was made complete
  by what he did. 23 And the scripture was
  fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and
  it was credited to him as righteousness, and he
  was called Gods friend. 24 You see that a person
  is justified by what he does and not by faith
  alone.
