Many people are taught that we only need to belief, we do
not need to do anything else but belief. Do not get me wrong, believing is
essential but it is much more than just believing. Demons believe Yahusha
(Jesus) Messiah exists as well but do you think they are doing (works) His
will? - James 2:19. Not at all!
Luke
6:47-49; Messiah says that everyone that hears His words and doing them
is like a man building a house with deep foundations on the rock. When the
flood came the storm water did not damage the house because the foundations was
good. But the one hearing and not doing is like a man building on the ground
with no foundation. When the flood came the storm water damaged the house
because the foundations were weak and the house fell.
So this verse says that we need belief with works or to hear
His word and then to do His word.
James
2:17-24; so also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. Verse 20; do you wish to
know , O foolish man, that belief without works is dead? Verse 21; Abraham had
belief by works, when he offered Isaac his son. Verse 22; belief was working with his works, and
by the works the belief was perfected? Verse 24; You see, then, that a man is declared
right by works, and not by belief alone.
You cannot have belief and no works; example: be at home
spending time studying the scriptures (believing) and not sharing the truth
with other people (doing).
On the other hand, you cannot have works and no belief,
example: being a good person, help people or giving charity and not showing who
you belief in.
Noah is another example of belief with works; he believed
Heavenly Father when Yahuah said He is going to bring a flood over the earth
and Noah's works was building the ark so as to be saved. Noah's belief and also
obedience made him build (works) the ark.
By your works people will see/witness/know who you belief
in.
Let me put it another way: By the fruit you bear (works or
doing His word) people will witness your belief in Yahusha (Jesus).
