"To have faith in Jesus Christ means to have such trust in him that we obey whatever he commands. There is no faith where there is no obedience. Faith comes from hearing the word of God and is a spiritual gift. Faith increases when we not only hear, but act on the word of God as well, in obedience to the truths we have been taught."Another of the many facets of faith.
--Elder L Whitney Clayton, "Help Thou Mine Unbelief", November 2001, Ensign pg 28

No faith without obedience
One of my favorite scriptures is 1 Nephi 2:7 where Nephi tells his father Lehi he will go & do the things which the Lord commands. Nephi has complete faith. He KNOWS the Lord doesn't give a commandment unless He prepares a way.
