Q519: Do You Believe That One is Saved By Works AND By Faith, or By Faith ALONE?


Do you believe that one is saved by Works, as well as, by Faith, or by Faith alone?

We believed that ONE IS SAVED BOTH BY WORKS and  FAITH, not by FAITH alone.

Today, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about God's Law, Faith, Grace, and Salvation. This is because of the LACK or IGNORANCE of the True Knowledge of God.

ONE IS SAVED ONLY BY DOING THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER. THIS REQUIRES A LOT OF WORKS! 
  • "NOT EVERYONE who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY the one WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER in Heaven. (Mat 7:21 HCSB)
That is, we are saved to Eternal Salvation in the Kingdom of God by DOING THE WILL OF GOD THE FATHER. This requires a lot of Hard Work (James 2:21-26).
  • Was not ABRAHAM OUR FATHER JUSTIFIED BY WORKS when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? (Jas 2:21 MKJV)
  • Do you see how Faith worked with his Works, and FROM THE WORKS FAITH WAS MADE COMPLETE? (Jas 2:22 MKJV)
  • And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness, and he was called the friend of God." (Jas 2:23 MKJV)
  • You see then how A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, and NOT BY FAITH ONLY. (Jas 2:24 MKJV)
  • And in the same way, was not RAHAB the HARLOT also JUSTIFIED BY WORKS when she had received the messengers and had sent them out another way? (Jas 2:25 MKJV)
  • For AS THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS DEAD, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD also. (Jas 2:26 MKJV) 

THE POPULAR LAW (TORAH = BIBLE) CANNOT JUSTIFY/SAVE ANYONE 

All the Churches are deceived by the misunderstanding or misapplication of Galatians 2:16.
  • Knowing that a MAN IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by the FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST, and NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW: for BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED. (Gal 2:16 KJV)
Here, in Galatians 2:16, the subject is the Works of the Law, not the WILL of The Father. The LAW must be obeyed, as it is necessary for Salvation. But, by itself, it cannot justify or save one by obeying the Ten Commandments written on the Tablets of Stone. The function of the Law is to bring us to Christ, which lived by the WILL of The Father (Galatians 3:24, John 4:34). 
  • The LAW has become our TUTOR TO BRING US TO MESSIAH, that we might be justified by FAITH. (Gal 3:24 HNV) 
  • …WHATEVER THINGS THE LAW SAYS, IT SAYS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under Judgment before God, (Rom 3:19 MKJV)
  • Because by the WORKS of the LAW NONE OF ALL FLESH WILL BE JUSTIFIED in His sight; for through the LAW is the KNOWLEDGE OF SIN. (Rom 3:20 MKJV) 
For more eye-opening explanations, go to: The FIRST SET OF TABLETS OF THE LAW (TEN COMMANDMENTS) WAS INTENDED TO GIVE MANKIND IMMORTAL LIFE. But, IT WAS BROKEN BECAUSE OF IDOLATRY. The 2nd Set of Tablets is The Law of Sin & Death, which is A Tutor To Bring Mankind To Christ 

NOW, GOD'S MESSIANIC KABBALAH WISDOM OF THE LAW IS REVEALED!
  • But now, apart from the LAW, God's [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] RIGHTEOUSNESS has been revealed--attested by the Law and the Prophets. (Rom 3:21 HCSB)
  • --that is, God's [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] RIGHTEOUSNESS through FAITH in Jesus Christ, to all who believe... (Rom 3:22 HCSB)
  • For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom 3:23 KJV)
  • Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the LAW OF FAITH. (Rom 3:27 MKJV)
  • Do we then make the Law void through Faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law. (Rom 3:31 MKJV)
  • The LORD is well pleased for His [MESSIANIC KABBALAH] RIGHTEOUSNESS' sake; He will MAGNIFY THE LAW, and make it honourable. (Isa 42:21 KJV)
For more explanations, go to the following articles:

1. There Are 2 Kinds of SALVATION: 1) The SALVATION TO IMMORTAL LIFE. This is Achieved By GRACE Through Faith, Not By Personal Works. 2) The SALVATION TO ETERNAL LIFE. This Requires An Enormous Amount of Personal WORK (Overcoming).

2. DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWO (2) KINDS OF GRACE WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE? 1) The GRACE THAT SAVES, and 2) THE GRACE THAT DECEIVES. Now, The Time Has Come To Restore The Pure Truth About The Genuine GRACE of God The Father!

3. The GRACE THAT SAVES TO ETERNAL LIFE REQUIRES GOOD WORKS! Billions of Christians Are Deceived By The False Doctrine of "YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE, NOT BY WORKS." Christ Rejects Christians & Jews Without Good Works => The LAWBREAKERS!
