The Word of God is full of verses which connect faith with action. For example, we are admonished to do the following:

Continue in the faith.
"If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel"
(Colossians 1:23). "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee" (I Timothy 4:16).

Hold fast our profession of faith.
"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised" (Hebrews 10:23).
Keep faith to the end.
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (II Timothy 4:7). "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" (Revelation 14:12).
Resist the devil steadfast in the faith. "Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world" (I Peter 5:9).
Earnestly contend for the faith.
"Ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 1:3).
Keep our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith. "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2).
Be diligent in the faith to inherit the promises.
"That ye be not slothful [idle], but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises"
(Hebrews 6:12).
