Faith Without Works leads many souls to an awful end.

Question 14: “Does The Book of James tell us how to spend our lives?
Answer: “James 2:12-13 tells us that we will be judged by how we chose to use our Free Will! ‘Talk and behave like people who are going to be judged by the law of freedom, because there will be judgement without mercy for those who have not been merciful themselves; but the merciful need have no fear of judgement.’”

Question 15: “Does St. James tell us how to use our Free Will so that our immortal soul be forever found among the ‘merciful’?”
Answer: “This IS The Test of Free Will! “Faith” without “Works” is ‘dead’!
2:14-17: ‘Take the case, my brothers, of someone who has never done a single good act but claims that he has faith. Will that faith save him? If one of the brothers or one of the sisters is in need of clothes and has not enough food to live on, and one of you says to them, ‘I wish you well; keep yourself warm and eat plenty’, without giving them these bare necessities of life, then what good is that?’”
Faith is like that: if good works do not go with it, it is quite dead.’ We are each as alive, or as ‘dead’, as as our ‘works’ show.”

Question 16: “How can Catholics explain the importance of good ‘works’?”
Answer: “James 2:18 helps us remind ourselves and our beloved neighbors of This Bible Teaching! ‘You say you have faith and I have good deeds; I will prove to you that I have faith by showing you my good deeds – now you prove to me that you have faith without any good deeds to show.’”

Question 17: “Is there any ‘good work’ we can do that is more important than obeying This Word of Jesus, being in His Church, and getting His ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’?”
‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on This Rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’“?
Answer: “That is the most important ‘work’ that anyone may blessed to do.”
