Faith is not just a noun or just a verb.  They are both.  You may ask how can they be both?  You see you can't have faith without works but works are a result of your faith.  Faith in Jesus, not your works.  Works done for your glory or the glory of man will only lead to religious piety.  Works as a result of our faith in Jesus because we love Him and people, will have reward but the reward is inconsequential.  We do because of who we belong to.  We do because it is who we are.  We don't find our identity in what we do but because of who we are and who He is in us we, do.  We work.  We believe.  We have faith and we do faith!
