There are some very bright saints that have a problem
with Romans 3.28 where
Paul say a man is Justified not by deeds ( works or
obeying the Law of Moses)
but by faith alone.
These Saints then come upon James 2:14,17-18, 20 which
says that faith without
Works is dead.
Other verse that say Salvation is by faith:
Rom_3:20-22, Rom_3:26, Rom_4:5, Rom_5:1, Rom_8:3;
Joh_3:14-18, Joh_5:24,
Joh_6:40; Act_13:38, Act_13:39; 1Co_6:11; Gal_2:16,
Gal_3:8, Gal_3:11-14,
Gal_3:24; Phi_3:9; Tit_3:7
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk
in them.
Here in these verses it again states Salvation is by
Faith and the Believer is and
will do Good Works Because The Holy Spirit dwells
inside each Believer.
A saved person Will show the Fruits of the Spirit.
Gal 5:22,
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth
forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall
know them.
