Saved by Faith. Gal. 3:7-14
Throughout the history of Christianity there has been a debate about the relationship between faith and works.
The Church in her wisdom has always tried to hold faith and works
together.
We are not saved by our works or what we do.
We do not earn our way into heaven.
We are saved by faith.
We are saved by our Faith in the death and resurrection of Christ.
But our works are a reflection of our faith.
One cannot see or touch faith,
but our works are visible and can be seen and
touched.
So our works are a visible manifestation of our invisible faith.
And that is why St. Paul can say that we are saved by faith and Jesus can say that God will repay each man according to his deeds.
The best way we can show our Faith, is by showing our good works.
Of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick.
In other words We must put our Faith into practice to show it is real.
God Bless
