Romans 3:28 - Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
You asked for where in the Bible it says faith alone - look above. Interesting how you cherry pick those verses out of the Bible.
Your argument isn't with me - its with God. Have fun.
i’m not the one claiming by faith alone, when the Bible declares explicitly the exact opposite!
what you also don’t understand is faith is a gift and as such it is a work, just as much as other good works. a work is something a human does. grace is a gift from God and must be present before man can respond in faith.
you don’t merit grace by your faith!
one more thought, if faith is completed by works, faith alone must not be sufficient if it needs to be completed. it’s almost as if the whole book of james was written with the 16th century in mind.
