Bible Question:
All right, sola fida experts.... This statement by Jesus seems to indicate that one needs more than faith in Jesus to enter heaven. Is this perhaps analogous to James 2:14, whereby saving faith is accompanied by works? Please help! Thanks, reilly |
Bible Answer: If we are one in the spirit with the Father and the Son, we will do the works of the Father as He wills. John 6:28,29 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." |
