1. The passage discusses how true faith is demonstrated through actions, not just words. Hearing God's word is important but must lead to doing it. 2. One who only hears God's word but does not act is like looking in a mirror and then forgetting what they saw. True faith is demonstrated by persevering in obeying God's perfect law. 3. For one's religion to be pure, it requires acting with mercy and refraining from worldly things, such as caring for widows and orphans. Outward actions reveal the state of one's heart.
