The Word of God is full of verses which connect faith with action. For example, we are admonished to do the following:
* Continue in the faith. "If ye continue in the faith grounded and
settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel"
(Colossians 1:23). "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine;
continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and
them that hear thee" (I Timothy 4:16).
* Hold fast our profession of faith. "Let us hold fast the
profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that
promised" (Hebrews 10:23).
* Keep faith to the end. "I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith" (II Timothy 4:7). "Here is
the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of
God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12).
* Resist the devil steadfast in the faith. "Whom resist stedfast in
the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your
brethren that are in the world" (I Peter 5:9).
* Earnestly contend for the faith. "Ye should earnestly contend for
the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 1:3).
* Keep our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith. "Looking
unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2).
* Be diligent in the faith to inherit the promises. "That ye be not
slothful [idle], but followers of them who through faith and patience
inherit the promises"
(Hebrews 6:12).
