I accept your words, but you are judged by your actions
Faith without works does not bring Me satisfaction
What good is a living person without a head?
So then, faith without deeds, I would consider as dead

Without faith, it is impossible to then please Me
Believe what I say, even when you don’t see
Do you genuinely desire to do My will?
I search for your motive and heart to fulfill

Do not try to manipulate Me or try to deceive
Since I know everything will I not perceive?
I know your thoughts before they come to be
Before you go to speak, I know it completely

Such knowledge is too wonderful for you to attain
It is by dying that eternal life you gain
I am familiar with all of your earthly days
This life is a test for you to know all of My ways

James 2:14-17 – “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

James 2:26 – “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

Psalm 139:1-6 – “You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.”
