I'm not much of a Bible literalist, but I find these words from the
book of James, chapter 2, verses 14-18 enlightening:
-
What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no
deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without
clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you
well; keep warm and eat your fill," but does nothing about his physical
needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith;
I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my
faith by what I do.
