First of all I really have to work at not being unforgiving of those of you who ask a question like you did without posting the specific scriptures.  That means I had to go look them up and post them myself!!! (Humbug) Now that thatâs off my chest, and being VERY tired after a VERY long day at a quilt seminar and concert today from which I just got home (left at 6:30 am), just off the top of my head I would say that: âas a result of the works, faith was perfectedâ means just what it says.  Faith is just âhead knowledgeâ unless/until you ACT on it.  That is why action, behavior, works are so important.  Talk/head knowledge/mental assent means NOTHING. Real faith will show itself in works, or it was ONLY talk. The works donât justify us.  The faith does.  But the faith isnât real until it is translated into action.
