What is Christianity? if its just something you join, then works are not important?

Question

But the Bible shows that FAITH without WORKS is DEAD Usless, true faith in Jesus's ransom sacrifice causes people to seek the truth & act like Jesus
(1 Peter 2:21) 21 In fact, to this [course] YOU were called, because even Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU a model for YOU to follow his steps closely.

(1 Corinthians 11:1) . . .Become imitators of me, even as I am of Christ.

(James 2:14-17) 14 Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if a certain one says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it? 15 If a brother or a sister is in a naked state and lacking the food sufficient for the day, 16 yet a certain one of YOU says to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and well fed,” but YOU do not give them the necessities for [their] body, of what benefit is it? 17 Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.

You see God does not ;have to allow just anyone to join the Christian Congregation, they have to meet his standards

Yes, he INVITES ALL TO COME but you have to meet certain requirements to be admidted in fact he says to REMOVE ANYONE FROM THE CONGREGATION WHO BEHAVES LIKE THIS
(1 Corinthians 5:9-13) 9 In my letter I wrote YOU to quit mixing in company with fornicators, 10 not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy persons and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, YOU would actually have to get out of the world. 11 But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do YOU not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves. . .

(1 Corinthians 6:9-11) . . .What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom?

(1 Corinthians 6:9-11) . . ., nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. 11 And yet that is what some of YOU were.. . .

Jehovah's Christian witness's try to teach every one the Bible , but some have to make changes in their lives to become a JW, NOT EVERYONE IS ACCEPTED some have to make life changes to conform to God's standards

Answer 1

It is not signing up like going for a grocery discount card. We must make attitude adjustments in our lives to conform to God's standards. It means a way of life, not something we do part time.

Answer 2

The majority of Christians tend to ignore the fact that works get one into this make-believe "heaven".
