First Baptist Church of Alachua

James is showing that Abraham's faithful action, his willingness to sacrifice his son because God commanded it was a work that showed the righteousness that God had imparted upon his life. In other words, Abraham acted in doing faith. That act was to trust God with the life of his son because that's what a doing faith looks like. Trusting God, even when you can't see the outcome, living in obedience, even when you don't know how it's going to play out or it doesn't make sense.
