Nothing in this beautiful scripture teaches that we are saved by faith alone.
I understand now why ya'll aren't allowed to read the texts for yourselves.
Paul is crystal clear in the passage from Ephesians...and elsewhere there is NOTHING we can do to "earn" our salvation.
For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not your own doing
; it is the gift of God,
not a result of works,
so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
All of it does and it could not be written any plainer.
If you don’t want to believe it, then that’s your problem.
Correct. The passages cited in metmom's Post #550 do show that the comprehensive and completed work of Jesus that earns a sinful human's unreserved committed trust in The Christ, and nothing more, is necessary to obtain the gift of salvation.
My faith in Jesus' works results in salvation.
There is no Scripture passage that indicates that my faith in my works results in salvation.
Please; illustrate just where in Scripture the teaching "that we are saved by faith" plus.
