Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment — But Most Miss This | James 2:12 Ep. 16

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the 16th episode of the Biblical Expositor with Jason Curtis! Today, we continue our study through the Book of James by focusing on the genuineness of faith in action, as well as how we express it in our treatment of others. We further dive into James 2:12-13 to understand the critical relationship between two realities: God's mercy in judgment and how our faith and works should align with Jesus' example. Next week, we will dive deeper into the concept that "faith without works is dead".Scripture quotations taken from the (LSB®) Legacy Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2021 by The Lockman Foundation.
