I like the phrase Saved through faith working through love. It’s in Galatians.

I'd cerrtainly would like to know where in Galatians this is. The closes I can come by is:

Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

As you might notice it has NOTHING to do with our salvation. Instead Galatians 5 talks of people's walk AFTER they are saved.

If the Church inspired the writings, then it is important to get correct what they considered inspired. Of course, it wouldn't be the first time the Church is at odds with its own teachings.

The Holy Spirit, working through the Church, gave us the Bible.

Just like the Holy Spirit, working through Paul, gave us Galatians.

Paul did not inspire the epistles, and the Church did not inspire the Bible.

We know that Faith alone, without works, is dead. Only faith, working through Love, means anything to Jesus Christ.
