Daily Devotions
James
"What does it profit?"
Text: James 2:16
A PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION
In order to strengthen his emphasis on the importance of works as an expression of genuine faith, James offered a practical illustration.
“If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
and one of you says to them, ‘Depart in peace,
be warmed and filled,’ but you do not give them
the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
James 2:15-17
