Faith, good works, and doing

Watterson critiques Huizinga's restrictive definition of "work" and "doing" in relation to faith and obedience, arguing that internal spiritual activities—such as faith, trust, and the battle of the soul—constitute genuine doing and should not be excluded from Reformed understanding of good works. Drawing on the Heidelberg Catechism and Belgic Confession, he demonstrates that Scripture and confessional standards present faith itself as an active doing and that God's law commands internal spiritual exercises, particularly belief and trust in the first commandment.
