I’m taking you back to your first reply to me:

Me: You cannot be saved by your works. This does not nullify works as being commanded or desirable.

You: Ok, i understand and i agree.

Now I ask you what you were agreeing with... because you have apparently completely flipped from your first post.

>>> Jesus and James was talking about the works of faith, don`t you get it?

Please define “work of faith” in a single sentence.

Then give me an example of a work of faith that we can apply to our lives today.

“Following His commandments” is too broad. Give me a specific example.

I do not believe we are saved by the works of the law and i also agree that This does not nullify works as being commanded or desirable. this is what i was agreeing with, so where have i flipped considering i understand what nullify means .

You. Please define “work of faith” in a single sentence.

Help some one who needs help.

You. Then give me an example of a work of faith that we can apply to our lives today.

James 2
14 What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?

15 And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:

16 And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

Why can`t we apply that to our lives?

17 So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

You. “Following His commandments” is too broad. Give me a specific example.

Mathew 22:37, 40
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.

38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

How do you love your neighbors?

By doing to them as you would have them do unto you, and as Jesus described in the parable of the Sheep and Goats.

And as James described in James 2.
