Without a union of belief and obedience, there can be no following Jesus. Kierkegaard understood the relationship between them. Scripture binds faith and works together in the same fashion. To focus on faith while neglecting works is like hitting a home run in the first inning of the baseball game and then going back to the dugout for the rest of your life. Isolating works from faith is like taking batting practice but never getting into the game.
Faith only becomes faith in the act of obedience.
