How do we know that faith must be demonstrated through works?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is known through works, as stated in James 2:26, which says faith without works is dead.

In James 2:26, the Apostle emphasizes that 'faith without works is dead.' This vital truth underscores that true faith will naturally produce fruit in the form of good works. Throughout the book of James, the distinction between genuine faith and dead faith is highlighted, with living faith always evidenced by active love and service towards others. Works do not contribute to our justification before God but are the outpouring of a transformed life that has been touched by God's grace. This is a key aspect of historic Reformed theology which holds that while salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, that faith will invariably reveal itself through the believer's actions.
