Understanding and obeying the Gospel of Jesus Christ hinges on a proper understanding of the relationship between Faith and Works as they relate to man’s salvation. The apostle Paul and James, the brother of Jesus, were guided by the Holy Spirit to make God’s teaching on this subject plain. The Christian must be prepared to show that there is no contradiction in the teachings of these two inspired men of God.
Does salvation come by faith in Christ alone or by faith plus works? The CORRECT answer to this question will go far in removing the division in the religious world. Below are four choices:
1. Some teach that salvation is obtained through faith alone. By this they mean NO good works or obedience to law is necessary.
2. Some teach that salvation is obtained through a combination of a person's faith plus his good works of merit. For them eternal life is based at least in part on doing a certain list of good deeds or serving the organization with time or money.
3. Some teach that salvation is obtained by
keeping the
Ten Commandments or the Law of Moses.
4. Some teach that salvation is obtained by Grace through Faith.
The below series will prove that choice 4 above is the only correct teaching on this subject.
