       Anyway, James parallels the body with faith, and the spirit with works. In a sense, like we’ve been talking about, we all have works. We all have bodies so we all have works. We only have an ‘alive’ spirit, a reborn spirit, if we have faith. Our spirit is dead without trusting in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for us. As Christ was made alive from the grave, so also our spirit is made alive in our current bodies. The person who doesn’t believe, though, he or she has a dead spirit within their body. It is there, and when it departs the body, it goes into an existence which is separated from the one who created it. The beautiful thing is, is that we can choose how we want to serve God, again, the Law of Liberty. God gifts us with spiritual gifts, and these drive our desires, the things we want to do for him and for others. We also have natural likes and dislikes that have been created in us.
