Does James Contradict Paul? :: Desiring God Christian Resource Library
Awesome short read on Faith and Works. Does the Bible contradict itself in this matter? Paul says we are justified by faith alone, but James says man is justified by works, and not by faith alone. James 2:14-26 and Romans 3:27-4:5
Short answer is, no. The Bible doesn't contradict itself. We are first justified by faith. No works as an empty, dying human can justify us to Christ. After we are first justified, though, faith does not remain alone. If it is living faith, it will produce works of love.
Read the link for the detailed, excellent essay on this difficult topic. (Easy read, and it explains it in a way anyone can understand)
