1 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | John Reformed | 60700 | ||
Dear Bubba, We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone. In other words: True saving faith will always be accompanied by good works, Just as a good tree produces good fruit. Keep in mind however that true good works are those that God has prepared fo us to do, and are not neccesarily what we consider to be good works. Eph 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Hope this helps! John |

Good Morning Brother John! I appreciate your statement 'We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone' Just yesterday, I was thinking about what Paul said ('For by grace are we saved thru faith... not of works' Eph 2:8-9) vs what James said in Jam 2:18-22 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And I came to the conclusion that a work is simply external evidence of our faith/what we believe. Again, I appreciate your statement. It was beautifully said and I think I'm going to remember it for a long time :). Abba Father Bless you... Meredith |

Good Morning Meridith, 'We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone' The above statement is a wonderful and brilliant one. When I first heard it I was amazed by it's simplicity and clalrity. I'm glad you like it. Today is a great day to remember and thank God for the liberty we have in Christ. John |
