\u2026 faith without deeds is dead.<\/p>\n
The Bible, James 2:26<\/i><\/p>\n
Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works; and then faith again, and then works again \u2013 until you can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.<\/p>\n
William Booth<\/i><\/p>\n
The saints of God are sealed inwardly with faith, but outwardly with good works.<\/p>\n
John Boys<\/i><\/p>\n
While it is faith alone that justifies, the faith that justifies is never alone.<\/p>\n
John Calvin<\/i><\/p>\n
As the apple is not the cause of the apple tree, but a fruit of it: even so good works are not the cause of our salvation, but a sign and a fruit of the same.<\/p>\n
Daniel Cawdray<\/i><\/p>\n
Faith justifies the person, and works justify his faith.<\/p>\n
Elisha Coles<\/i><\/p>\n
The works of faith involve doing all that is commanded in Scripture. That is why the Mosaic law is a \u201claw of faith\u201d (Rom. 3:27; cf. 9:31f.) \u2026 Every command in the Bible should be understood as specifying an obedience which is inspired from knowing that God has promised to be one\u2019s God.<\/p>\n
Daniel Fuller<\/i><\/p>\n
We must take care lest, by exalting the merit of faith, without adding any distinction or explanation, we furnish people with a pretext for relaxing in the practice of good works.<\/p>\n
Ignatius of Loyola<\/i><\/p>\n
When we have taught faith in Christ, then do we teach also good works. Because thou hast laid hold upon Christ by faith, through whom thou art made righteous, begin now to work well. Love God and thy neighbor, call upon God, give thanks unto him, praise him, confess him. Do good to thy neighbor and serve him; fulfill thine office. These are good works indeed, which flow out of this faith.<\/p>\n
Martin Luther<\/i><\/p>\n
If faith produce no works, I see<\/p>\n
That faith is not a living tree.<\/p>\n
Thus faith and works together grow,<\/p>\n
No separate life they never can know.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re soul and body, hand and heart,<\/p>\n
What God hath joined, let no man part.<\/p>\n
Hannah More<\/i><\/p>\n
We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.<\/p>\n
John Owen<\/i><\/p>\n
No amount of good deeds can make us good persons. We must be good before we can do good.<\/p>\n
Chester A. Pennington<\/i><\/p>\n
We have to beware of magnifying faith and knowledge at the expense of love. For saving faith and serving love belong together. Whenever one is absent, so is the other.<\/p>\n
John R.W. Stott<\/i><\/p>\n
Faith is full of good works. It believes as if it did not work, and it works as if it did not believe.<\/p>\n
Thomas Watson<\/i><\/p>\n
As the flower is before the fruit, so is faith before good works.<\/p>\n
Richard Whatley<\/i><\/p>\n
Faith is the root of works. A root that produces nothing is dead.<\/p>\n
