Orthodox Christianity is truly an active faith. What we believe is very important, of course, but we need to do more than merely believe Church teachings—we need to “put feet” to our faith.
Here’s what St. Gregory of Sinai says:
A man has no right to be called faithful, if his faith is a bare word and if he has not in him a faith made active by love or the Spirit. Thus faith must be made evident by progress in works, or it must act in the light and shine in works…The faith of grace is made evident by works performed in accordance with the commandments, just as the commandments are fulfilled in deed and are made bright through the faith which is in grace.
