AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 1:9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. |
Subject: WHO pays the wage? |
Bible Note: To quote my Catholic study Bible: Works done by our own strength without the grace of God and without faith in him are vain. This is the Catholic teaching on faith AND works. A Catholic would never separate faith AND works in explaining justification, hence the rejection of 'faith alone'. We would never say like Luther we could commit adultery 100 times and it not affect our justification. Faith without works in dead. God bless Dalcent |
