Works alone will not save you, but you cannot just believe and do nothing. This is not God's will. It is a three phase approach: Faith, baptism and follow God's commandments (which include works).

There are many, many references to a "path less traveled" in the Bible, and also references to temptation and persacusion.

If you truly believe that faith alone is sufficent, then God's laws don't mean laws, they would then mean "guidelines" as to how you shoudl live.

One shoudl never attempt to boast about works for in John 14:10 "It is the Father, living in me, who is doing the work"

Sounds pretty clear to me.

There are those that say works are un-necessary for salvation, and that is not Biblical.

This is what you said, and I was addressing that. They aren't necessary.

[He Rides A White Horse]

I do works because of love and obediance.

I would agree with this.
