In the New Testament there is no contradiction between
faith and obedience. Between faith and law-works, yes; between law and grace,
yes; but between faith and obedience, not at all. The Bible recognizes no faith
that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does
not spring from faith. The two are opposite sides of the same coin. Were we to
split a coin edgewise we would destroy both sides and render the whole thing
valueless. So faith and obedience are forever joined and each one is without
value when separated from the other. The trouble with many of us today is that
we are trying to believe without intending to obey.
