Points from of James.
- Faith is not a New Testament concept that Jesus brought. People before the time of Jesus knew and practiced faith. Abraham believed God, Elizabeth and Mary believed God [Luk 1:45]. Hebrews 11is a list of Old Testament characters who had faith.
- Mary knew she was humble [Luk 1:48]. It is not a sin for one to know he is humble and for him to speak of it.
