It is by Faith in Jesus Christ which we are saved
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed- a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1;14-17)
Faith Comes from hearing
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. To hear, you must read the Word of God- the Bible, which grows faith.
(Romans 10:17)
Faith
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
(Romans 1:17)
Faith - without works
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
(James 2:14)
Faith can be dead
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?
(James 2:20)
Shallow belief
You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble!
(James 2:19)
Deep Belief leads to Faith (with works) to Righteousness.
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? (James 2:20-22)
