If a body is not breathing, it is a dead body. If a person who claims to possess faith isn’t serving the kingdom, his is not a living faith. Works—those acts that carry ethical and religious consequences—set us apart as believers. Now, to be clear, works aren’t what we do TO BE saved; they’re what we do because we ARE saved. Faith is more than words; faith is active. Heart-changing faith propels us into action that lets us be a part of God’s redemptive mission in this world. Belief in the Savior shows in what we do.
