“Use your heads! Do you suppose for a minute that you can cut faith and works in two and not end up with a corpse on your hands?” (James 2:20, The Message)
As paraphrased by The Message, you end up with a corpse on your hands when you cut faith and works in two. Faith, not demonstrated in works that bring glory to God, is a corpse, a dead body, death.
There is an unbreakable connection between faith and works; or as The Message puts it: That seamless unity of believing and doing (vs. 25).
True faith will always be accompanied by genuine works.
