15Saved BY Grace, THROUGH Faith, UNTO Good Works
16How far do you agree with these statements? 1.Â
The "good works" of unsaved people are "dead",
and are as "filthy rags" to God. 2. We are under
Satan's control until we are spiritually reborn
through faith in Jesus. 3. We are saved by
faith and grace, not works. Good works after our
spiritual rebirth signifies true faith. 4. God
is not impressed by the "good works" and prayers
of non-Christians. 5. We are not to admire the
sincerity and zeal of those in non-Christians
religions. We are to avoid participating in
their efforts. Rebuke them sharply

51Faith Is Essential To Salvation.
John 316 - Whoever believes on Jesus should have
eternal life. Romans 116 - The gospel is God's
power to save all who believe. Romans 51,2 - By
faith we are justified and have access to
grace. Ephesians 28 - By grace are you saved
through faith. (Acts 1631 1043 159 1339
John 824 336 524 640 2030,31 Romans
322-28 43,16 etc.)
52Faith Is Essential To Salvation.
53But No Passage Says We Are Saved by Faith Alone
54 Ja 226 For as the body apart from the spirit
is dead, so
apart from works is dead.
55by Itself, Inward Faith Will Not Save.
John 1242,43 - People "believed" in Jesus but
would not confess Him, because they loved the
praises of men more than the praises of God. Were
they saved? (Cf. Rom. 109,10 Matt.
1032,33.) James 219,20 - Even devils believe.
Are they saved? James 214,24 - Can faith save
without obedience? No, that is a dead faith
(v17,20,26).
56Many Things Are Essential to Salvation.
God's grace (Ephesians 24-10 17 Titus
211,12 Acts 1511) Jesus' death and
resurrection (Ephesians 17 Romans 56-10 1

Revelation 210 1 Corinthians 1558 Matthew
2820 Titus 211,12 1 John 21-6) Church
membership (Acts 247 2028 Ephesians 523,25)
59Obedience Is Essential To Salvation.
1 Peter 122,23 - We purify our souls in obeying
the truth. Romans 617,18 - Servants of sin must
obey from the heart in order to be made free from
sin. Hebrews 59 - Jesus is the author of eternal
salvation to all who obey Him. James 224 - Man
is justified by works, not by "faith only." Acts
1114 1034,35 - Peter told Cornelius words
whereby he would be saved. But the first words He
said were that, to be accepted by God, people
must work righteousness.
60Matthew 721-27 Luke 646 - To accept Jesus as
Lord (ruler, master) and enter the kingdom of
heaven, we must do what He says. We may believe
and confess Him yet be rejected, because we did
not obey. 2 Thessalonians 18,9 Romans 26-10 -
Receiving eternal life requires us to do good.
Those who do not obey will be destroyed. 1 John
53 John 1415,21-24 - Loving God requires us to
keep His commands. If we do not obey, we do not
love Him. Can one be saved if he does not love
God (cf. 1 Corinthians 1622 Matthew 2237-39)?
61Saving Faith Requires Obedience.

63We cant appropriate it without
Grace is a gift of God. Because it comes to us at
God's initiative, there are some things we can't
do about grace. We can't earn it. We can't
control it. We don't have to deserve it.
Jam 224 You see that a man is justified by
works and not by faith alone.
64We are saved by grace (Eph. 28,9)
but we can fall from grace (Gal. 52-4).
65We are justified by faith (Rom. 51), but our
faith can cease to exist (Luke 813 Rom.
1119-23) and become shipwrecked (1 Tim.
119,20).
66We are not under the law (Rom. 614,15),
but if you live according to the sinful
nature you will die (Rom. 813).
67 Paul taught against legalism (Gal. 53,4), but
among others things he taught But among you
there must not be even a hint of sexual
immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of
greed, because these are improper for God's holy
people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish
talk or coarse joking, which are out of place,
but rather thanksgiving.
68For of this you can be sure No immoral, impure
or greedy personsuch a man is an idolaterhas
any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of
God. Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of such things God's wrath
comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do
not be partners with them (Eph. 53-6).
69We are not saved by works (Eph. 28,9), but to
reap eternal life and not destruction, you
must sow to please the Spirit and not the
sinful nature (Gal. 68,9).
70God is faithful to us (1 John 19 1 Cor.
1013), but we must be faithful to him to the
very end of our lives to escape the lake of
fire, or second death (Rev. 210,11).
71God surely loves us (John 316 Mk. 1021 Rom.
835-39), but those who inherit the kingdom of
God, love God (James 25 cf. 1 Cor. 29). And
to love God means to obey his commandments
(Jn. 1415 1 John 53).

73We have freedom in Christ (Gal. 51), but this

is not you who support the root, but the root
supports you (Romans 1117,18).Â
