judged by their deeds. as is asserted in
Romans ii:6 and in other passages
while they are justified by faith? (Rom,

Answer. Faith is that spiritual condi-
ton exercise by which man becomes
pleasing to God (Heb.. xi:6). by which
also he is made responsive to the grace
of God. Faith is therefore a saving prin-
ciple or act CEph.. ii:s), an act which puts
the man in a salvable state Hence IL is
the one condition for all that working
within that results In the renewal and
exaltation of the nature. But conduct is
the fruitage of that faith. If the mans
life is not characterized by good works
his faith is vain James. Held. Hence in
the judgment God will take note of the
outgoings of the interior life. Matt,
xxx: 45). The proof that a man is good is
to be found in the fact that he does good.

the test at the last day Is one that i'm
