James 2:14-26 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him?… I. THOSE WHO WOULD HAVE ABRAHAM'S PRIVILEGES JUST LOOK TO IT THAT THEY HAVE ABRAHAM'S FAITH. He — 1. Received the promises with all humility. 2. Improved them with much fidelity. II. BELIEVERS MUST SEE THAT THEY HONOUR AND JUSTIFY THEIR FAITH BY WORKS. They must — 1. Be loyal to Christ. 2. Work with a spirit suiting the gospel. 3. Be prudent. 4. Be thankful. III. SERIOUS PURPOSES OF OBEDIENCE ARE ACCEPTED FOR OBEDIENCE. IV. FAITH IS NOT GENUINE UNLESS IT PRODUCES SUCH ACTIONS AS ABRAHAM'S. (T. Manton, D. D.)
