The first entry unto God, good Christian people, is through faith; whereby we are justified before God. There is one faith which in scripture is called a dead faith, which brings forth no good works, but is idle, barren and unfruitful. It consists only in believing the Word of God, that it is true. And this is not properly called faith. Another faith there is in scripture, which as the other faith is called dead faith, so this may be called a quick or lively faith. And this is not only the common belief of the articles of our faith [of the Anglican Church], but it is also a sure trust and confidence of the mercy of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and a steadfast hope of all good things to be received at God’s hand. This is the true, lively, and unfeigned Christian faith, and is not in the mouth and outward profession only, but it lives and stirs inwardly in the heart. And this faith is not without hope and trust in God, nor without the love of God and of our neighbors, nor without the fear of God, nor without the desire to hear God’s word, and to follow the same in eschewing evil and doing gladly all good works.

—Homily on Faith

Here we see the author and architect of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer remind us in a concise but comprehensive way that faith must lead to works.
