As a Christian I have to go with what Scripture teaches. We are all sinners. Jesus died for our sins. If I believe that and repent of my sins I will be saved. No "good works" I do will earn my way into Heaven.
But isn’t it said in 2 James that faith without works is dead?
I take that to mean that we can all believe and repent our sins, but if we don’t do good in our lives, we may not attain salvation. Am I wrong?
