So glad you clicked back to study James with me!
What’s your take on James 2:17--faith with out works is dead?
How do you see faith and works as two sides of the same coin?
What is one thing you can do TODAY to live out your faith?
Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]. Hebrews 4:16

James 2:17, as you said, IS a controversial verse. I have often heard people from different denominations of churches ARGUE over this verse and it's true meaning. Some denominations believe that the way to heaven is ONLY works and some believe it is ONLY faith and then others believe it is both. I think that you really did your research and have hit the nail on the head when it comes to what this passage is trying to tell us!
To live out my faith, I can keep my focus on Jesus throughout each portion of every day, whether it be when I get frustrated while driving in rush hour traffic, or when I am at work and Jesus seems to be the last thing on my mind. People should be able to see that something is different about me and wonder what exactly it is. Being salt and light in the world is a great springboard for being able to share our faith with others, whom we may not be able to share with them otherwise!
