1 John 2:3 And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him.3 And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. 4 If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 5 But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him.

Our lives need to show evidence of faith.
It reminds me of the question.... "If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?"
No, our deeds don't save us. We know that. BUT, deeds are fruit of genuine faith. And if the deeds are lacking, so is the faith.
