My sisters, if a person says that she has faith, but does nothing, then that faith is worth nothing. Can faith like that save her? NO! A sister in Christ might need clothes or might need food to eat. And you say to that person, "God be with you! I hope you stay warm and get plenty to eat." You say these things, but you don't give that person those things she needs. If you don't help that person your words are worth nothing. It is the same with faith. If faith does nothing, then that faith is dead, because it is alone.
You believe there is one God. Good! But the demons believe, too! And they shake with fear.
You foolish person! Must you be shown that faith that does nothing is worth nothing? Abraham was made right with God by the things he did. He offered his son Isaac to God on the altar. So you see that Abraham's faith and the things he did worked together. His faith was made perfect by the things he did. This shows the full meaning of the scripture that says: "Abraham believed God. And God accepted Abraham's faith. That faith made Abraham right with God."

Abraham was called "God's friend."
So you see that a person is made right with God by the things she does.

She cannot be made right by faith only.
Your good works
are a result of your faith!
Don't tell me you have faith,
SHOW ME!!!
