Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:17

You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:24

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 2 Timothy 4:14

Saying you believe isn’t enough. It has to be backed up with deeds that fulfill your faith.

“Saying you believe isn’t enough. It has to be backed up with deeds that fulfill your faith”

Salvation by deeds = gift from God?

Romans 10:4:

Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

“It has to be backed up with deeds that fulfill your faith”

Galatians 2:21:

do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Why is it you never post Eph. 2:8,9??? Not in the Catholic catechism???
