billybob - 5/4/2009 04:12 Faith is not what you will do when you need to, but it is what you do do because you have it.
Faith and religion is not the same thing to God.
A person who truly has faith will act on it and seek to do His will, regardless of other consequences.
A person who only has religion is just going through the motions for show or human approval, much like Jesus saw the Pharisees doing in His time.
He showed the disciples that the poor widow was sincere in the practice of her faith, while the Pharisees who thought they were big shots were not in the eyes of God.
