Known By Your Actions
Proverbs 20:11
Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.
James 2:14-26
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
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.
John 3:18
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
James 2:18
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 1:22
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
James 2:26
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
James 1:23-25
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
About a month ago this blogger posted a thread along these same lines. Outlining his erroneous beliefs for salvation. Faith only? What about hearing the Word? What about confessing your sins? Repenting? Baptism?
Hello?
Anyway we had a rather lively thread. Except the blogger. He never showed up to defend his points. He is a typical hit and run poster.
