Faith Demonstrated by Works

No MAN can be saved by works; yet no man can be saved without works. A man is justified by faith only; yet no man can be saved by faith alone. These are paradoxes, the key to which is, that the faith by which a guilty soul is justified without works becomes, from the moment of its birth, a living principle which brings forth works of righteousness as naturally as a tree produces its own fruit. Its works demonstrate its life, which expires when it ceases to produce righteousness. Hast thou faith, O man? Show it by thy works.—Zion's Herald.
