Thank you. That's EXACTLY what James is teaching and the way we know that is because the same Holy Spirit inspired him to write that as led Paul to write:

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Then why did Luther want James taken out of the Bible?

Did Martin Luther Really Want James Taken Out of the Bible?
