justified.
James 2:21‑25• 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
 22Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.
 23And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.
 24Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
 25But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put them forth by another way? (James 2:21‑25)
• It is with the mouth that confession is made unto salvation; and the words that leave out Jesus prove that the heart prefers its sin to Him. The words of the mouth evidence the state of the heart.
