Works, evidence faith but cannot validate it. Show me a religious work that the carnal man cannot mimic, at least for awhile! At the end of the day when we have done all that is our duty, all we can say is that we are unprofitable servants. Are our works important? Absolutely! We were foreordained unto good works before the foundation of the world. But the child of Grace should never look to these works as an assurance of their salvation. Faith is the substance of things HOPED for and the evidence of things UNSEEN, therefore, it is not tangible. 

     Faith is a resting in the works of Christ alone and not our own.
