If faith alone, coupled with the death of Christ on the cross, ensures my salvation, why would I ever attend church or do a good deed? Even worse, why WOULDN’T I DO EVIL DEEDS?

Because the born/again born from above believer is now a child of God and has a new nature and WANTS to please God and live a holy pure life out of gratitude for what God has done in him.

He does it not to earn salvation, but out of a desire to glorify God in everything he does.

Anyone who who thinks that salvation by grace through faith is a license to sin has NO clue what redemption and the new birth are all about and has clearly not been born again.

[Mark17]

Anyone who who thinks that salvation by grace through faith is a license to sin has NO clue what redemption and the new birth are all about and has clearly not been born again.

You are correct MM. Not a clue. Anyone who thinks they can use their “salvation experience,” as an excuse for wickedness, has about a 99.9% chance of hearing Jesus say to them, “I never knew you.” They are only lying to themselves.
