You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:24 and 26 NIV
I think most would agree that a body without a spirit is dead. This certainly is true from a Christian perspective. The one without a spirit dedicated to God is dead to that which is of the spirit. That body is a slave to sin. So it is also with faith which is not accompanied by deeds. If deeds are not aligned with faith, then the faith will disappear. Why is this so? Well, does not Christ call us to action, to love, to have mercy, to be compassionate? How do we show these virtues? Through our actions we will show these virtues.
When one is spoken of as being righteous, is it through faith that they are deemed to have this virtue? One cannot be righteous just through faith. One’s deeds do much to show whether or not the individual is righteous.
Do you recall the fourth Beatitude? Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled. Let your deeds reflect righteousness, and be blessed knowing that God will fill you.
