There is a great difference between how a Christian believer dies and how a non-Christian dies. And there is a great difference between the person with a faith that works, one who claims to have a faith, a spirituality, or a religion that doesn't. If faith shows no consistency, no practical effect, no eternal significance then it is in fact a dead thing. So the Holy Scriptures say, "Faith without works is dead. Living faith in the Risen Christ will always produce change in a person's life.
