"I will show you my faith by what I do."

  As Christians, we are not saved by our works, but our works show our faith and often separate us from the rest of the world. Or at least they should. Christians do not do works for our own advancement, but out of love for our Heavenly Father. That is another thing that separates Christianity from other religions. While "religious" people run around doing their deeds in hopes of racking enough points to earn another merit badge, Christians show love to those around them because of the great love they have been given.
  We need to remember that as Christians we obey God out of love for Him. God loved us so much He came to this earth and died in our place. Can we do any less than joyfully obey Him?
