Jeremiah 31 "A time is coming declares YHWH, when I will make a new covenant .....it will not be like the first covenant I made ....This is the covenant I will make .... I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts."
2Corinthians 3 ~ "He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant --- not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
� The Old Covenant was written down, anyone could read it, so why is it written in our hearts and minds?
� If the New Covenant is Not like the Old Covenant then why write the same old laws over again on our hearts and minds?
� If the Old Covenant kills then why does God write it on our hearts and minds when we enter into the New Covenant?

James 2:14-25
14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, �Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,� but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
18But someone will say, �You have faith; I have deeds.�
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. 19You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that�and shudder.
20You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is uselessd? 21Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23And the scripture was fulfilled that says, �Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,�e and he was called God�s friend. 24You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
25In 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? 26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

yeah to be shone true by how you live and what fruit you produce therefore your works,,will show that you truly believe,,if your life does not show that you are following YAHSHUA then you are not following HIM,,
i don't get how Ya'aqob is not saying that ?
dikaioō = the word used
1) to render righteous or such he ought to be
2) to show, exhibit, evince, one to be righteous, such as he is and wishes himself to be considered
3) to declare, pronounce, one to be just, righteous, or such as he ought to be
works and faith go hand in hand brother you really can't have one without the other i mean sure you enter into HIS grace by belief but if you really love HIM,,HE says "YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDS" so besides how we interpret how to KEEP HIS COMMANDS still there is it is said that IF you love ME you will act like it and walk as I do
there is too much separation involved in christianity you can't see that you can keep the Torah and believe and live for YAHSHUA MESSIAH and honor HIM more i believe cause you are doing as HE did,,and like this why do we have to separate works from faith ??? it is plain and simple if you love MESSIAH you will live for MESSIAH the way HE wants you to live and how will do that ??? by what you do in life,,every single step,breath, and thought will be done for MESSIAH and YHWH
