How we believe in God is also like that. If our faith does not lead us to do good things, then it is not worth anything. It is dead!

If our bodies have no spirit, they are dead. In the same way, if our faith does not lead us to do good things, it is dead.

My Christian friends, you say that you believe in God. Then you must show this in the things that you do. If not, your faith will not help you. It will not save you.

You believe that there is only one God. That is good! But even the demons believe that! And it makes them very afraid.

Someone might say, ‘Some people have faith to believe in God. Other people do good things to help people.’ Then I would say, ‘You cannot show me that you believe in God if you do not do good things. I do good things, and that shows that I really believe in God.’

God will not forgive anyone who has not forgiven other people. But God is kind! He judges us, but even more than that, he forgives us!

So you see how God accepts someone as right with himself. That person must not only believe in God. He must also do good things to show that he has faith.

Abraham believed in God, and he did what God asked him to do. So you can see that both of these were necessary. When he did this good thing, he showed that he believed in God completely.
