Is faith without action faith?

We were reminded on Saturday that to do the works of God we are to believe in Jesus. (John 6:28-29). We are not saved from our sins because of what we do but when we have faith in Jesus it impacts what we do and becomes evident to others. We show Jesus praise and gratitude as well as want to draw others to Him. If there aren't these changes in our life, we should question whether we really believe in Jesus saving us. James 2:17-18 "...Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say ,'you have faith; I have deeds'. Show me your faith without deeds and I will show you my faith *by*. my deeds".
