It's Not What You Believe- It's What You Do That Matters

Scripture is awash on this matter. Some passages seem to indicate belief being key, while other passages (such as the one where Jesus separates the sheep from the goats) it seems that what you do is what matters. I'm going to settle this debate once and for all- it's what you do that matters.

I know you are asking me "how do I know?" I know because God sends me on all sorts of assignments. When God sends me on assignments, he doesn't seem to give a rat's ass what I believe. All he cares about is what I do. He DOES care a lot about what I do though. A LOT. In fact, what I do is the whole game from God's perspective. SO as believers we've got to stop majoring on something that doesn't matter and major on what DOES matter- what we do. I can tell I'm right that someone has a heart of gold by their actions. And truth be told, Jesus generally majored on action, as the passage above indicates. Belief in God- sure. it matters some. However, I think I could make a better person out of someone who doesn't believe but loves with their whole heart, than someone who does believe (in one sense) but doesn't really care about other people.
