“Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.” Matthew 12:33

This is how we know who the children of God are… Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. 1 John 3:10

True and genuine faith in Jesus Christ will always result in an increasing love for God and others.

True and genuine faith in Jesus Christ will always result in an increasing love for God and others.

"Jesus’ work for us continues with Jesus’ work in us, and it culminates with Jesus’ work through us to love, and to serve, and to give. Not so God would love us, but because in Christ he already has. Not so God would accept us, but because in Christ he already does. It’s the life of Jesus for us, in us, and through us, so all of that is the work of Jesus."

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh (sinful nature); rather, serve one another humbly in love. Galatians 5:13

There can be no 'justification by works' be­cause there can be no good works unless one is already justified by faith..

Faith is not a passive declaration, but an active participation.
