Jesus often spoke about how those who follow him will live. He spoke of a life where the heart is pure, not just the actions. Leaders of the early church also spoke about living lives of love with good deeds - this is especially evident in the [[Epistle of James]] where Christians are reminded that faith without works represents a dead faith.
==Quotes==[https://archive.org/details/worksofjohnbunya03buny Bunyan J "Pilgrim'''Songs about living as a Christian'''s Progress", in Offor G "Works of John Bunyan", vol3, p220f.]* [[Words to Be thou my vision|Words : "There were two men that went on pilgrimage; the one began when he was young, the other when he was old. The young man had strong corruptions to grapple with; the hymn old man''Be thou my vision'']]s were decayed with the decays of nature.... I have observed that old men have blessed themselves with this mistake, namely taking the decays of nature for a gracious conquest over corruptions, and so have been apt to beguile themselves."
