Faith without works is a dead faith.

Works don’t save you, but they can condemn you.

You need both.

Keep to the topic - this is about salvation. No one can add ONE thing for salvation - it's a GIFT. You either accept it as God gives it - or you don't accept it as God gives it.

For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast.

IF one doesn't accept salvation HIS WAY - there is no salvation. One believes and obeys or one doesn't believe and obey.

There is ONLY ONE WAY - God's WAY.

Jesus says “If you love me you will keep my commandments.”

What are the two commandments Jesus tells the rich young man he must keep?

Love God and Love your neighbor.

How else is this done than by worshiping God and doing good works for your neighbor in His name?

Can’t see where the two could be any more connected.
