When Jesus returns to judge the world, He won't ask what you believed. He won't inquire about your denominational affiliation. He won't test your theological positions. He won't ask how many services you attended or how much Scripture you memorized. He'll ask seven diagnostic questions:

I was hungry. Did you feed me? I was thirsty. Did you give me drink? I was a stranger. Did you welcome me?
I was naked. Did you clothe me?I was sick. Did you visit me? I was in prison. Did you remember me?
What did you do with the widows and orphans?

These aren't symbolic questions. They're diagnostic ones. And according to Jesus, the answers determine everything.
Why do good people-people who believe the right things, pray sincerely, and attend faithfully-so often fail to practice the mercy they profess?
Through the haunting story of Eliakim, a man who was religiously correct but obediently inert, Their Works Follow Them confronts the uncomfortable gap between the faith we claim and the lives we actually live. Eliakim believed all the right things. He could articulate systematic theology with precision. He tithed faithfully, attended every service, and served on multiple committees. By every measurable standard, he was a model Christian. But when mercy mattered, he was absent.

A Theological Meditation on Matthew 25:31-46 and James 1:22-27 Drawing on 250+ scholarly sources and anchored in Scripture, this groundbreaking work examines why cognitive assent so rarely translates into behavioral transformation. What mechanisms of delay, delegation, and theological rationalization keep mercy theoretical? How do we reconcile salvation by grace through faith with Jesus's insistence that our works reveal the authenticity of our belief?

What You'll Discover:
Why faith without works isn't just incomplete-it's dead. The difference between orthodoxy (right belief) and orthopraxy (right practice).What Jesus actually meant by "the least of these".How to identify the patterns that keep mercy at arm's length.Biblical frameworks for translating conviction into concrete action.The seven questions Jesus will ask-and how to answer them. What "pure and undefiled religion" looks like in daily life

Rigorously Researched. Practically Applied.
This is not devotional reading. This is not light theology. This is a mirror held up to modern Christianity-and what it reflects will challenge everything you thought you knew about what it means to follow Jesus.

Each of the 29 chapters concludes with penetrating study questions designed to move readers from theoretical agreement to honest self-examination.
Who This Book Is For:

Believers tired of Christianity that's heavy on words and light on action. Small groups and Bible studies seeking challenging, substantive material.Pastors concerned about congregational apathy toward the vulnerable.Anyone who loves deep theological exploration paired with practical application
Readers of Dallas Willard, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, N.T. Wright, and Scot McKnight
What's Inside:
29 Chapters of rigorous theological exploration.174+ Study Questions for personal reflection and group discussion
250+ Scholarly Sources spanning theology, history, and social science.Comprehensive Scripture Index for Bible study
Detailed Topical Index for research and reference.The story of Eliakim woven throughout as a diagnostic mirror

"These aren't symbolic questions. They're diagnostic ones."
The church has become very good at believing and very poor at doing. We can articulate sophisticated theology, debate eschatology, and parse Greek verbs. But when mercy matters, we are often absent. Jesus didn't say, "By their theology you will know them." He said, "By their fruits you will know them." Not all who say "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom-only those who did what He said.
The question is - Did you?

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
