Why Salvation Must Be By Faith Alone (Slight Modification; Summarized Message)..

Why Salvation Must Be By Faith Alone (Slight Modification; Summarized Message).. | Listen, all you have to do is to hear, believe, confess, repent, & get baptized.  It's a very simple gospel. Acts 15:1, 5; Then, I must obey all 613 commandments w/out breaking even one lest  I violate all. Neither will there be pardon for me, but what awaits me is only eternal damnation. Acts 15:7-11; 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. - Romans 4:4-5; Yes, your gospel sounds very simple to me! | image tagged in memes,the rock driving,sola fide,faith alone,gospel,salvation | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

The Mosaic Law/Teaching is of two:

1. The Letter (2:11-13)
2. Conscience (2:14-16)

Neither one can ever justify because:

a) God requires moral perfection (Matthew 5:20 & James 2:10)
b) Man is rebelliously sinful by nature (Romans 5:12-16 & 8:6-7)
c) And God will not overlook his sins, nor will He count his good works (Isaiah 64:6)

Even to say that we can do just one thing for our salvation would still add a yoke no one can keep (Acts 15:1, 10).

Thus. we're saved only by Faith Alone and nothing else (Ephesians 2:8-9).

And to still insist in adding to His work on the cross (Hebrews 9:12), is to denigrate His sacrifice (Galatians 2:21), and to fall from grace (Galatians 5:4).
