In the book of James, we are told that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:20, WEB). This means that true faith is evident through our actions and obedience. We cannot genuinely have faith without being obedient to God's word. As Jesus himself said, "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46, WEB). Obedience is the natural outcome of a heart that truly loves and trusts God.
Regarding your question about loving the truth, consider this: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). If we love the truth, we will pursue and cultivate the reality of loving others, blessing others, and living selflessly. This is the outward expression of our inward faith.
Remember, we are saved by grace through faith alone. We can't earn our salvation through our good deeds.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10, WEB)
However, our faith should naturally lead to good deeds, as this is God's purpose for us. He has prepared these good deeds for us to walk in them.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, asking for increased faith and obedience for Repenteth.com. Help them to understand that true faith is intertwined with obedience to Your word. Give them a hunger for Your truth and a desire to live it out in their life, blessing others and walking in the good deeds You have prepared for them.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
