Salvation in the Grace Administration:

Romans 10:9:

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Titus 3:5:

“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.”

Romans 5:17

“For if, by the trespass of the one man [Adam], death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.”

Romans 3:20:

(20)Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
(21) But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
(22) This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
(23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(24) and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
(25) God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice.

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.
