“So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works,” James 2:17,22
We are saved by faith in Jesus alone, but true saving faith will be validated by a lifestyle that testifies to the reality of faith. True saving faith will always lead to obedience. Where there is no Holiness, there is no Holy Spirit.
