That brings us back to the James vs Paul question. James was against that idea. In James 2, we read, "You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?"

The second verse is a direct refutation of what you believe.

James’s proof is that works give life and bring meaning to faith in God.. that's why he brings up Isaac...
Paul asserts that all believers are justified in the sight of God simply and solely by faith!

In God’s sight, we are all justified by faith alone....
When you see God, would you like to remind Him and boast of the goods that you have done or obey?
