Saved By Faith Alone Or Faith And Works? | Christian Bible Study

Are we saved by faith alone or faith plus works?

This is a complex question that has been debated by Christians for centuries. There are two main views:

Salvation by Faith Alone (Sola Fide): This view emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God received through faith in Jesus Christ, not earned by good works. Supporters of this view point to verses like Ephesians 2:8-9: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." (NIV)

Salvation by Faith Plus Works: This view suggests that both faith and good works are necessary for salvation. Supporters of this view might point to James 2:17: "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (NIV) They argue that true faith must be accompanied by a life transformed by good works.

Here are some additional points to consider:

Both views agree that good works are important in the Christian life, even if they differ on their role in salvation.
The Bible contains verses that seem to support both sides of the argument.
