Bible Question:
Tim, most specifically, what do you mean by the following: . Faith without works is lifeless; faith with works brings eternal life. thanks |
Bible Answer: James 2:26 Faith without works is dead... John 3:16 ...whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life...

So faith comes by hearing... the word... This is the gist of what I was trying to say. If this is too vague let me know and I will be more concise. Thanks! |
