Don’t Just Talk About It. Be About It. Faith Without Works is Dead James 2:26 KJV
People who do work for the kingdom of God to bear fruit (bring people to God) do so because they are saved not to get saved. You are saved by Grace and rewarded for your works. People who are saved do works (bear fruit).
Ephesians 2: 8-10 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
James 2:26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
Revelation 22:12 KJV “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Proverbs 14:23 – In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tended only to penury.
1 Thessalonians 4:11 – And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
Galatians 6:4-5 – But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
John 15:2 “Every branch in me that bears not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”
John 10:38 “But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.”
James 1:27 “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

Examples
James 2:17-26 KJV 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, 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. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21Was, not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
