Nancy and Alan the Holy Spirit often reminds me of another verse from James. "Faith without works is dead. You're right on target. John Rice, once said: "Jesus will have to come and take some Christian adulterers out of the arms of the whores so they will quit hurting the kingdom of God."
They call that antinomianism. I call that "grace" gone beserk. I don't know if John Rice is "legalistically" correct---depends on whether you subscribe to Calvinism or Armenianism. But we must indeed be careful that we endeavor to "make God look good" and Holy; and righteous; and desirable; as well as a God of Justice; and not soft on sin; not looking the other way when we do wrong; not condoning our lying; and cheating; and uncontrolled sinful anger; etc.
Grace.
'Tis marvelous.
Works.
'Tis marvelous, although they don't in and of themselves save us.

Have a sen say shun al even eng.
