It is the gift of God; NOT of works, lest any man should boast.” Tit. 3;5: "NOT b\ works of righteous ness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” Yet James states just as clearly that "faith if it hath not works is dead, being a lone” Jas. 3:17). He chal lenges professing believers: "Show me thy faith without thy works, and I-w ill show thee my faith BY my works” (Ver. 18), and declares that "by works a man is justified, and not by fait!: only” (Ver. 24), since "faith without works is dead” (Ver. 20). Some have imagined a con-, tradiction here, while actual ly there is none. There is a dispen sat tonal distinction, for to Paul had been committed ‘ 'the dispensation of the grace of God” (Fph. 3;1, 2). His was "the preaching of the cross” (I Cor. 1:18), offering salvation by grace, through faith alone to all Miss Hankins Religious Emphasis Week Speaker At Bennett College GREENSBORO Using the theme, "Explore Science; The Key to Wisdom,” Bennett Col lege last week observed Science Emphasis Week with Miss Lola Hankins, chairman of the ob servance.

James, on the other hand, was an apostle of the kingdom, proclaiming the kingdom rights of Christ and offering a changed way of life on earth which had already been experienced by the disciples in Judaea (Acts 2:29-32, 44-47; 4:32-35). Hence with James the em phasis is on works, NOT be cause good works can save or even help to save, but because TRUE faith inevitably bears FRUIT and WE can judge true faith only by the fruit it bears. Our Lord said: "By their fruits ye shall know them.” Hence James’ epistle abounds with such phraseology as "ye see,” "show me,” "I will show you,” etc. What we must be careful to remember is that according to both Paul and James, faith comes first, then good works. Faith is the root, good works the fruit. The absence of fruit indicates that the root is dead, that while there may be an in tellectual assent, there is no true heart faith, and "without faith it is impossible to please God” (I-leb. 11:6). The SOURCE of justification is grace; the BASIS, Calvary; the MEANS, faith and the EVI DENCE, works. Think this through; accept God’s grace and trust tin Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, He will help you to produce good fruit.

In the course of life there are many ideas that spring in to our minds which, when given full expression, prove to be so satisfying that we easily recog nize their divine origin. But there are also times when we pray for divine guidance and inspiration, and the right kind | of ideas do not seem to be forth coming. Whenever this seems to be the case, we need then to con sider whether we might possibly be dismissing some idea that has come to us as being too trivial or too insignificant for consideration. Just for ex ample, ideas for putting those around us at ease, for mak ing a home comfortable, for al lowing another driver on the road the right-of-way, or for ) bestowing just a bright smile on another person . . . these may not seem of vital impor tance to us. But certainly, when given full expression, they shine forth as rare gifts. Some of us have no difficulty in recognizing the good ideas that come to us, but we lack the confidence to express them. I These ideas seem lacking in I virtue because they are our I own. If we have this feeling, we gj need to realize that every good I and worthwhile idea comes from 1 God, that we are all the physical 9 expressions of God, and that we I are fulfilling our purpose when | we give expression to the won- 1 derful ideas He transmits to I us. As we accept the thought that, "This is God’s world, and we are His children,” happiness fills our hearts, and we are inspiried to stir up this same feeling of happiness in every other person about us. We look on life as an exciting challenge, and we find happiness in every day and in every situation, for we >~a\e God’s never-failing wellspring of happiness with in us. "Happy is the people that is in a case; Happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.” -- Psalms 114:15. Anderson Is Treasurer Os Lutherans NEW YORK - Carl M.
