Biblical Orthodoxy

“faith is God’s work in us, that changes us and gives

new birth from God. (John 1:13). It kills the Old Adam and makes us

completely different people. It changes our hearts, our spirits,

our thoughts and all our powers. It brings the Holy Spirit with

it. Yes, it is a living, creative, active and powerful thing, this

faith. Faith cannot help doing good works constantly. It doesn’t

stop to ask if good works ought to be done, but before anyone

asks, it already has done them and continues to do them without

ceasing.  Anyone who does not do good works in this manner is an

unbeliever.”
