"If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."
JAMES 2:8-10
Men who desire righteous standing without obedience to Jesus are doomed to the law. Doomed to sin. Slave to sin. There is only one way in which a man will be free of sin - Christ Jesus. Only in his truth - with his spirit are you free in Jesus - the law is no longer a noose around your neck - but obedience to the law through the spirit of Jesus is truth.
In the spirit - the law is easily obeyed for you are transformed - as a man you are not made new in Christ Jesus - thus binding you to death.
The evidence of Faith is through deeds of love per the scripture and calling of Christ - "Love your neighbor as yourself." The absence of deeds for the cause of the love of Christ is a lack of faith. We are made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ - through this faith in Christ - his spirit of love will be given to you as your advocate to do the will of God. In his new Holy Spirit - the evidence of your faith to Christ will be made known through your love of others.
