In James 2:18-26, we study how saving faith produces a lifestyle of good works. James proves this through three examples. Demons, the negative example in verses 18-19, have a “faith” that is merely head knowledge and not saving faith. This leads to fear because of their coming judgment. Abraham and Rahab, the positive examples in verses 20-26, demonstrate their faith in God by their obedience. Abraham proved his faith through his willingness to trust God and obey him in difficult circumstances. Rahab displayed her faith through a repentance that transformed her from a lifestyle of sin to a concern for God and his people.
