Dead Faith, New Bodies, and Biblical Lessons in Vocational Work

1. What does James mean by “faith without works is dead”?

2. You talked about Christians receiving new bodies when Jesus returns. I know when I experience death my soul will immediately be in the presence of Jesus, so are the saved in Heaven in a spiritual state without bodies until Jesus raises the dead in Christ? What about Enoch (Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5), Elijah (2 Kings 2:11) and Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:3) that didn’t experience death?

3. What is a biblical lesson you’ve learned in the area of work—and God’s view of our vocational work?
