James’s message emphasizes that professed faith must produce good deeds; words of comfort without meeting real needs are empty, and faith without action is dead. The excerpt also highlights Abraham’s example, where faith and actions work together and become complete. John’s writing stresses living in the light through love, warning that hatred keeps a person in darkness.","172 The Letters Written By James and  \nJohn  \nJames, ; 1 John; 2 John 1:1; 3 John 1:1  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n172 The Letters Written By James and  \nJohn  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Here is part of the message from these letters.  \nJames wrote,“My brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does no good deeds, that faith is worth nothing.”  \n“Suppose that a brother or sister is continually lacking clothes or food. And suppose one of you says to them, ‘Do not worry, go away, get warm and find the food you need!’”  \n“But if you do not give him what he needs, your words are useless. If faith is not accompanied by action, then it is dead and useless.”  \n“When Abraham offered his son Isaac on the altar, he was considered righteous for what he did. His faith and actions worked together. Yes, his actions made his faith complete.”  \nIn John’s first letter, he wrote,“Anyone who claims to be living in the light but hates another believer is still in the darkness. But if we really love others, we are living in the light so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin.”","cbCaiaXuUuhFLw0T","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaXuUuhFLw0T","pdf",2624371,1,20,"English","en",105,"# Faith and Action (James)\n## Faith must produce good deeds\n## Faith without action is dead\n# Living in the Light (John)\n## Love reflects true light","[{\"question\":\"What does James say about faith that does not lead to good deeds?\",\"answer\":\"James teaches that faith without good deeds is worth nothing and is dead and useless.
