James 2:26 (ESV)
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
The breath of life that is the Holy Spirit reveals Himself by the fruit of His Spirit. If there is no fruit, He is not present. We are to work out our own salvation with reverence, for it is His Spirit who causes us to will and work in the manner that pleases God.
Philippians 2:12-13 (ESV)
Lights in the World
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
