The word says that faith without works is dead and profits us nothing, but it is faith, not works that brings us salvation.  Why would the word say these things that seem to be so different? 

Many Christians believe and have faith, but they believe with their mind.  When the mind believes in something, it does not require change and is content with just believing.   But it is not the mind that needs salvation. It is the heart and when the heart believes, it is compelled to change for it is no longer our heart but His in us.

When we believe with our mind, we are concerned with what we look like to others and to God, but when believe with our heart, we are concerned with who we are to others and to God.  We are no longer worried with others seeing our works, but rather experiencing our works and our actions transform from being self gratifying to God gratifying. 

Do you believe with your heart or do you just “THINK” you believe?
