"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, to profess faith, without showing works? Such faith has no power to save you. If a brother or sister is in need of clothes or food, and one of you says, 'May things go well for you; be warm and satisfied,' without attending to their material needs, what good is that? So, it is, for faith without deeds: it is totally dead." - James 2:14-17
(It is necessary to have faith to be saved, but following CHRIST cannot be theoretical; it must be shown in action, in deeds. CHRIST HIMSELF says the same thing in Matthew 7:21: "Not everyone who says, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter the kingdom of heaven.")
