Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates answer a question about faith and works and about the context of James–especially aimed at clarifying the meaning of James 2:14. Why do so many believe and teach that James 2:14 is about a faith that is connected to eternal salvation?

SPECIAL OFFER: Bob Wilkin’s book, The Ten Most Misunderstood Words in the Bible is being offered through March 31st, 2023 at half-price for those who use the code word, “MISUNDERSTOOD.”
