Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.—Matthew 3:8
Genuine faith and trust in Jesus is meant to be put into action in everyday life. The love, grace and mercy of the Father is transformative in the heart and mind of the believer. It is from the changed core of one’s being that the goodness of God is meant to flow and be expressed in holy living and practical acts of compassion. A changed heart and good deeds that come from that genuine, healthy relationship with God are part of what proves faith to be true. Faith without works is dead. Put your faith into action!
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.—James 2:18
