By Itself - James 2:17

James 2:17 ESV 
So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Works without faith is dead. 
Faith without works is dead. 

Life comes from faith working in and through love. 

Faith first is like being given the breath of life that allows a man to open his eyes, to rise from the earth and stand up, and to begin moving in the wonder of life. 

It is through our works that the light of God is held out to the world, through the fruit of the Spirit. The Spirit no longer hovers over the waters, but abides in our hearts. 

We are alive!
