There is a saying stating, "put your money where your mouth is," and there is another saying, "Actions speak loud than words." Even when it comes to faith if you can't prove your faith by your actions it is pointless to tell people that you have faith. The book of James chapter 2 verses 14-26 says the following about faith and actions, "14. My friends, what is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? 15. Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. 16. What good is there in your saying to them, "God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!" - if you don't give them the necessities of life? 17. So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. 18. But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions." 19. Do you believe that there is only one God? Good! The demons also believe - and tremble with fear. 20. You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless? 21. How was our ancestor Abraham put right with God? It was through his actions, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. 22. Can't you see? His faith and his actions worked together; his faith made perfect through his actions. 23. And the scripture came true that said, "Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous." And so Abraham was called the God's friend. 24. You see, then, that faith it is by our actions that we are put right with God, and not by our faith alone. 25. It was the same with the prostitute Rahab. She was put right with God through her actions, by welcoming the Israelite spies and helping them to escape by a different road. 26. So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead."

We are human beings we have the spirit and human which are opposing each other in every way possible. Let's see what the book of Galatians chapter 5 verses 16-26 have to say about the spirit and human. Galatians 5 says, "16. What I say is this : let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature. 17. For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do. 18. If the Spirit leads you, then you are not subject to the Law. 19. What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy, and indecent actions; 20. in worship of Idols and witchcraft. People become enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry, and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups; 21. they are envious, get drunk, have orgies, and do other things like these. I warn you now as I have done before: those who who do these things will not possess the Kingdom of God. 22. But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, 23. humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these. 24. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires. 25. The Spirit has given us life; he must control our lives. 26. We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another. "
Sometimes in life you will ask yourself who am I and where am I going because my life is not making sense. You are you for a reason and getting lost in life is not a strang thing to go through. You must dig deeper into your self and search for who you are because what you are looking for you won't be able to find it outside. You are unique so you dig out that unique mineral from deep inside you.
Everything that God gives us requires us to have as God's promise is received through faith. As this is also said in the book of Romans 4 verses 13-25, "13. When God promised Abraham and his descendants that the world would to him, he did so, not because Abraham obeyed the law, but because he believed and was accepted as righteous by God. 14. For if what God promises is to be given to those who obey, then faith means nothing and God's promise is worthless. 15. The law brings down God's anger; but where is no law, there is no disobeying of the law. 16. And so the promise was based on faith, in order that the promise should be guaranteed as God's free gift to all of Abraham's descendants - not just to those who obey the law, but also to those believe as Abraham did. For Abraham is the spiritual father of us all; 17. as the scripture says, "I have made you father of many nations." So the the promise is good in the sight of God, in whom Abraham believed - the God who brings the dead to life and whose command brings into being what did not exist. 18. Abraham believed and hoped, even when there was no reason for hoping, and so became "the father of many nations."Just as the scripture says," Your descendants will be as many as the stars."19. He was then almost hundred years old; but his faith did not weaken when he thought of his body, which was already practically dead, or of the fact that Sarah could not have children. 20. His faith did not leave him, and he did not doubt God's promise; his faith filled him with power, and he gave praise to God. 21. He was absolutely sure that God would be able to do what he had promised. 22. That is why Abraham, through faith, "was accepted as righteous by God."23. The words"he was accepted as righteous" were not written for him alone. 24. They were written for us who are to be accepted as righteous, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from death. 25. Because of our sins he was given over to die, and he was raised to life in order to put us right with."
