  2. Two Kinds of “Justification”according to Paul and James Chuck Swindoll, New Testament Insights

  3. Paul: Justified by faith, not works • (Romans 4:3-5) What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." …to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

  4. Two “Justifications” • (James 2:24 – NKJ Version) You see then that a man is justified by works, and not [justified] by faith only. • Not, Justified by Faith plus Works • But, Justified by faith and Justified by works.

  5. Rahab’s legacy of faith • (Matthew 1:5) Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of King David. • (Hebrews 11:31) By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient. • (James 2:25) In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?
