Because if we dont, we dont believe.
DOING, WORKING IS THE PROOF.

Ahhh, one of the classics--right up there with free will vs. omniscient God and double predestinayion. I think that this very year, the Catholic church decreed that their "fallen brethren" are correct in that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. See? Even the Pope has come around! 🙂

There is some truth to that. Fatih without works is dead.

However, it is not what we do. It is through Whom we do it and in Whose person we derive our source of life.

God only wants what Christ DOES in you.

There is one human being who satisfies God and one only - His Son Jesus.

When Jesus gets into you, uniting with Him and He with you, makes your living OUT FROM Him acceptable to God.[/b]
