Summary

This quote conveys the idea that having faith alone is not enough to truly experience the rewards and benefits that it offers. Comparing faith to a bird without wings emphasizes the limitations of faith without action. Just as a bird cannot soar without wings, faith has the potential to lift us towards spiritual heights but requires active "works" or deeds to fully realize its potential. It implies that genuine faith entails not only belief but also putting it into action, suggesting that faith and good works go hand in hand in attaining spiritual growth and reaching higher realms or heaven.
