Verse 22— Seest thou how faith wrought with his works. Abraham proved his faith by what he did towards obedience. And this is the only way faith can be shown. Faith, to be available, must be acted out; must show itself by operation; in short, must be actualized. Faith is thus made perfect. Works only can perfect it. Faith is like a fountain sending forth its stream of pure, limpid water. Seeing the stream demonstrates the existence of the foun­tain. When the fountain contains no water, the stream dries up and disappears. So it is with faith. It sends forth its stream of kind deeds, and where these are seen the existence of faith as the source is recognized and acknowl­edged. It is so ordained in the economy of heaven.
