Faith and Deeds
What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?...As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:14, 26
Spiritually speaking, it is only possible to be faithful, or, to be loving, because of the grace of God. There is greater comfort in being mindful of "whose we are" rather than in seeking to measure our standings in the ranks of holiness.
There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
