Paul vs. James?: Justified by Faith Alone with R.C. Sproul

This message is from Dr. Sproul’s 10-part teaching series Justified by Faith Alone. Watch the entire series: www.ligonier.org/learn/series/justified-by-faith-a…

Paul teaches how you are saved and James teaches how a saved person lives. Our works are the visible manifestations of faith. Faith is the inward motivation for works.

Dr. Sproul was such a tremendous gift to the church. I look forward to personally saying thank you to him in glory.

God blessed us so much through Dr Sproul. It is so wonderful to still have him with us through the recorded video medium.

At the end of the video, this doctrine of regeneration; is such a truth to me. I believed I was called from earliest memories but ran from God or more so, the church. There was that moment in my sinful existence, where God presented to me the horribleness of my sin. At that moment, I did not know Christ and knew no theology. But I knew what I was doing was wrong and tried to clean up my act. It did not work as life was just not right. I came away from that moment with the thought that I did not have a solid answer, for who this person Jesus is. I did not understand why this was important. Then, a year or so later buying a bible on a lawn sale changed my life as God had worked upon me, though I did not realize this and did not even understand this doctrine until my coming to reformed theology, after nearly 20 years in an independent Christian church. Amazing God. May His grace pour out.

Beautiful. I need to watch this video several times to understand completely

Brilliant explanation. This is why I keep returning again and again to Dr. Sproul’s teaching.

Is was thinking on this same thing. Thank the LORD for men like Dr. Sproul.

Am always blessed by your teachings

Great to see the wisdom and clarity of RC!

Love this! It was so well explained. RC Sproul is one of my all time favorites!

Ehhh Dr RC sproul you were divinely blessed such a clear and powerful explanation, all I say is God be praised.

Fantastic explanation that resolves the questions about True Faith, two sides of the one coin of Truth. Hallelujah !!

Such a wonderful lecture. I always find strength listening to Dr. Sproul.

I'm so glad I came across this video. Such a Bible-centered, clear and objective message on the real meaning of the Gospel and how there's no living saving faith which is not followed by fruits of righteousness.

this is an amazing explanation for this kind of "conflict" between Pauls and James stands on faith alone thank you very much thisis really helpful
