So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (Jas 2:14-24, 26)

Faith and works is not either/or. Rather faith and works go to together as the Letter of James points out. And as common wisdom has always observed, actions speak louder than words. Or as Ricardo Arjona, a popular Latin American artist, sings: Jesus is a Verb, not a Noun (Jesús es Verbo, no Sustantivo).
