James 2: 14 and 19 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?....
You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God.[f] Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. 20 How foolish! Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
How do you know you can trust someone?
Basically, when you've seen that they walk the talk. They SAY something, and then they DO what they say they will do.
Talk is cheap. Anyone can say their sorry, but you'll only whether or not they're actually sorry by their actions.
Anyone can claim to be a believer (demons believe God is Who He says He is!, anyone can claim to have faith - but you'll only know whether or not someone is a genuine believer by their words and deeds.
Deeds don't save you. Faith in God saves you. Deeds prove you have saving faith.
What are your (and my!) deeds proving today?
