Faith without action is insincere, worthless and dead. Just like in James 2:15-17 recorded, "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Likewise, true and scriptural faith is always expressed in submission and obedience to God. Faith that continues stubborn and disobedience is dead faith that cannot save us from God's wrath and judgment.
Living faith is expressed outwardly in a continual walk of submission and obedience to God. Each act of obedience faith that we performed will developed and strengthened our faith and prepared us for our next test.
So as Christian, if we profess faith in Christ, we must be willing to identify ourselves actively with Christ's cause and Christ's messengers. We must also be willing to make a definite, open confession of our faith, which marks us out from all the unbelievers around us.
