In Episode 72 of the Stone Pillar Podcast, Dane and Brian reflect on faith, works, and justification in James 2:14-26 and in some passages that Paul wrote. First, they discuss the relationship between faith and works. Second, they show that James and Paul agree on both the centrality of faith and the necessity of works. Finally, they unpack how the terminology of "justification" is used to describe: (1) being forgiven and made right with God, received by faith alone; (2) demonstrating in actual practice by faith-filled works that you are right with God; and (3) receiving final commendation and vindication from God on the day of judgment, at which time God will bestow praise upon every true believer in accordance with his or her faithfulness.
