Romans 4:5

Yet, James says, "I will show you my faith
"By my works."
Paul means works of the Law.
Paul means works of Judgment,
Of condemnation, of executing the justice of God.
That is what Paul means.
As James clearly says,
"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, 
"and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, 
"and I will shew thee my faith by my works."

The scripture cannot contradict.
When Jesus said, "It is finished"
He meant the Hebraic covenant
Given to Moses.
That law was broken, and severed,
So now men live by Grace
And the law accordingly given to them
And imprinted upon their conscience.

It is true, that in the end of the age
Christ will bring in both good and bad
To His kingdom, for those called
Had rather gone to their own designs.
And they will be left outside the Wedding Feast
While Death, wearing no garment,
Will be cast into the outer darkness.

Paul is speaking, in Romans 4:5
Of works of the Law.
Not works of Charity.
A Christian is compelled to do charity
As is commanded by Jesus
When He talks of separating the Sheep and the Goats.
If the heart of man is worthy of acceptance,
It will choose Christ wholly
And commit to Him like the Athanasian Creed states.
If the heart is unworthy, it will be separated from God
By its sin; therefore, the Heart of man determines
Whether it will accept Grace, or forsake it.
For, what Paul is stating
Is that it is not a work of our own
Which causes us to be chosen by God
But rather, it is the condition of our heart
Which allows the choice, and nothing else.
