Subject: Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) |
Bible Note: 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 |
