Faith works come after we are Spiritually born again and indwelled with the Holy Spirit that empowers us to go out into the world and continue in the good works of the Lord,
So true.
However, the principle of faith, for faith to be able to function, requires obedience, otherwise it’s remains dormant.

James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
The Christian life is compared to how a newborn babe grows into adulthood (and maturity). Those who have been just born again are compared to newborn babes. But they must grow spiritually by feeding on the milk and meat of the Word and seeking the guidance of the Spirit. In the first epistle of John, they are shown as (a) little children, (b) young men, and (c) fathers.Reality is that life has just begun and we are now tasked with building on our relationship with our Lord (our faith) and living according to that which we have received (our forgiveness and eternal life).
Very well put.The Christian life is compared to how a newborn babe grows into adulthood (and maturity). Those who have been just born again are compared to newborn babes. But they must grow spiritually by feeding on the milk and meat of the Word and seeking the guidance of the Spirit. In the first epistle of John, they are shown as (a) little children, (b) young men, and (c) fathers.
Unfortunately most churches do not watch over their newborn babes to ensure their growth, and many fall by the wayside unnecessarily. Today we live in a time of spiritual confusion because of this.
