James writes, "Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" (James 2:17), while Paul states, "A person is justified by faith apart from works of the law" (Rom 3:28). How does Christian doctrine reconcile these two statements?

Answer Options

A. Works are the sole basis for justification, and faith is merely a feeling, so the verses contradict each other.
Correct Answer B. Faith justifies a person before God, and genuine faith naturally produces works; thus the verses complement each other rather than contradict.
C. Faith alone saves a person, and works have no role in justification, making the verses mutually exclusive.
D. Faith and works are unrelated; justification depends on moral behavior, not belief, so the verses address different topics.
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Faith justifies a person before God, and genuine faith naturally produces works; thus the verses complement each other rather than contradict.
