James 2:23 ASV

Abraham is a great example of James 2:23. Faith without works is dead. Abraham had faith but his leaving home was action of his faith. All the faith in the world is a great thing to have but it still must be demonstrated. I am not talking about working your way into heaven, but a working of faith in your heart will produce works that will make God say about us "You have believed in Me and demonstrated that to Me by your actions, and I will account it for you to righteousness!'"
