Our father Abraham offered his son Isaac on the altar. Wasn’t he considered to be right with God because of what he did?So you see that what he believed and what he did were working together. What he did made his faith complete.
Suppose a brother or a sister has no clothes or food.Suppose one of you says to them,“ Go. I hope everything turns out fine for you. Keep warm. Eat well.” And suppose you do nothing about what they really need. Then what good have you done?It is the same with faith. If it doesn’t cause us to do something, it’s dead.But someone will say,“ You have faith. I do good deeds.” Show me your faith that doesn’t cause you to do good deeds. And I will show you my faith by the goods deeds I do.
