Believing in God is not only believing by words, believing in God and
the mercy you received in and true Jesus Christ, is more than words alone! Do
people see that you are a believer in Christ? Do they see that in the things
you do? In the book of James we can read about the works that come with
believing, James is saying how important it is to have works of faith!
James 2:14-26
14 What
doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works?
can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be
naked and in lack of daily food, 16 and one of you
say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not
the things needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even
so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. 18 Yea,
a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from
[thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith. 19 Thou
believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and
shudder. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that
faith apart from works is barren? 21 Was not Abraham
our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the
altar? 22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his
works, and by works was faith made perfect; 23 and
the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was
reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. 24 Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by
faith. 25 And in like manner was not also Rahab the
harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them
out another way? 26 For as the body apart from the
spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
