Poetry

So what good would it do,
In having faith as claimed;
But proves nothing to you,
Without good things proclaimed.

Can this kind of faith save,
For as a believer;
Keeping you from the grave,
Being a receiver.

Whether woman or man,
Needing clothing or food;
God will tell you a plan,
Depending on your mood.

You must stay warm and eat,
Provide physical needs;
Having shoes on your feet,
Grain growing from your seeds.

Faith by itself is dead,
If not doing good things;
More than what maybe said,
Results in what it brings.

Show me faith in good things,
And I show what is good;
For your faith as it clings,
Will shine bright as it should.

You believe in one God,
Demons tremble with fear;
But they will never laud,
Be truthful or sincere.

Faith by self is useless,
If not showing results;
Leaving others clueless,
Causing to throw insults.

You see others receive,
The approval from God;
Not just what they believe,
But to honor and laud.

If bodies do not breathe,
The faith will also die;
Without good works to weave,
Blessings God would deny.
