Faith and Works
Regarding the debate about faith and works: It’s like asking which blade in a pair of scissors is most important.
— C. S. Lewis
James 1:22 -short and to the point
James 2:14-20
Ephesians 2:8-10 - I like this one. It clarifys that grace is a gift that we did nothing for. That grace is given to us and we are to do good works because of that gift. Not as payment, just because it's right.
Romans 9:32 - works alone is not enough
Galatians 2:16 works don’t "earn" salvation or repay the debt.
2 Peter 1:5-10 - add "works" to faith. Add attitude adjustments to faith. Change is works. 8-10 Faith is not enough. The change of heart and action is your calling. The gift of grace comes with a calling to be Christlike towards others and yourself.
