View on salvation

 

 

 

 

“Faith alone is not sufficient, good deeds are ALSO needed”

 

Regarding converts’ view on salvation, we must note that they too may associate faith in Christ with salvation. They may speak quite honestly about how we must believe in Christ in order to be saved and become righteous before God. They may speak about the grace of God in connection with salvation.

   But when it comes to putting this into practice, these people turn things upside down: they speak more about their good deeds and the effect of these deeds on salvation than about the grace of God. They may also make comments similar to these: 

 

- "Yes, faith does justify but we also need good deeds."

- "Faith alone is not sufficient, good deeds are also required.”   

 

Luther, a former monk and a convert, described this attitude in A commentary on the letter of Galatians (p. 115). He wrote:

 

But the truth of the Gospel is this: our righteousness is through faith alone, without acts of the law. Interpreting the Gospel falsely is to say that we are justified through faith, but not without acts of the law. The false apostles preached the Gospel by adding this condition to it. Our Sophists [and papists] teach the same: we must believe in Christ, and faith is the foundation of blessedness, but it does not justify us if it has not been expressed through love. This is not the truthful Gospel but something that only looks like it.

 

But how is it really? Are good deeds needed in addition to faith, or are we saved by faith and grace alone? Let’s take a look at this in the light of the next examples:

 

1. Salvation is a gift

2. Salvation through grace

3. The thief on the cross

4. The prodigal son

5. Not a combination of law and grace

6. Through faith

7. An old heresy

 

1. Salvation is a gift. The fact that salvation is a gift excludes the possibility that we must perform good deeds or meet special conditions.  If we had to pay for a gift or to do something to get it, it would no longer be a gift – it would be something we had earned. The gift must be received as such or not at all, there is no other way:

 

- (Eph 2:8) For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

 

- (Rom 3:24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

 

- (Rom 6:23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

- (Rev 21:6) And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.

 

- (Rev 22:17) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

 

2. Salvation through grace. If salvation were even partly a reward for our efforts, it would no longer be a gesture of grace but one made in response to our merits. We can be saved either by good deeds or by grace, but not by both – they exclude each other. That we are saved by God’s grace is the only reasonable conclusion, because we are not perfect:

 

 - (Eph 2:4-5) But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

5  Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)

 

- (Eph 2:8-9) For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 

- (Acts 15:11) But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

 

- (Tit 2:11) For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men

 

3. The thief on the cross taught us that, though we are undeserving, yet we can be saved. He was saved only by expressing faith in Jesus and turning to Him. This was no virtuous man. He had done no good deeds. He was a thief. He was nailed to a cross as punishment for crimes. In his last moments he made one last request. It was enough for him to get to Heaven.

 

 - (Luke 23:32, 42-43) And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

42  And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

43  And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, To day shall you be with me in paradise.

 

4. The prodigal son is another good example of the grace of God. Even though he had lived in sin, he immediately received grace when he went to his father and admitted that he had done wrong. This was not because he had lived a good life or had done good deeds. He received grace completely and immediately after turning back to his father.

   In the same way, we can all receive forgiveness from God by just turning to him:

 

- (Luke 15:13) And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

 

- (Luke 15:18-19) I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,

19  And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.

 

- (Luke 15:20) And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

 

5. Not a combination of law and grace. Converts sometimes combine law and grace and try to make the product a valid condition.

   However, they cannot exist as one. If grace rules, then law must relinquish its grip. If the law is valid, then grace is irrelevant (if one is 100 percent true, the other is always 0 percent true).

   We must understand that salvation is not a combination of law and grace, because they are opposites. Because of our imperfection, our only possibility to be saved is by grace alone, from beginning to end:

 

 - (Rom 5:1,2) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 

- (Rom 6:14,15) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

15  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

 

- (Phil 1:7) Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.

 

- (1 Peter 2:10) Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

 

- (1 Peter 5:12) By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein you stand.

 

6. Through faith. Just as salvation cannot be a combination of law and grace, neither can it be the combination of faith and good deeds – these two also exclude each other so that one of them must step aside. The Bible specifically teaches us that it is our good deeds that must be set aside when considering salvation, because we are saved by faith and not by our good deeds:

 

- (Rom 3:28) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

 

- (Rom 4:2-3) For if Abraham were justified by works, he has whereof to glory; but not before God.

3  For what said the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

 

- (Rom 4:5-6) But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6  Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,

 

- (Rom 9:32-33) Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;

33  As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense: and whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

 

- (Eph 2:8-9) For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 

- (Gal 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.

 

- (Tit 3:5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

 

- (1 Cor 15:1-2) Moreover, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;

2  By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.

 

- (Gal 3:26) For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

 

- (Acts 4:4) However, many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

 

- (Acts 11:13-14) And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

14  Who shall tell you words, whereby you and all your house shall be saved.

 

- (Acts 15:7) And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Men and brothers, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

 

7. An old heresy. Trying to make good deeds the precondition for salvation is an old heresy. Leaders in the early church were fighting against it (Acts Chapter 15 and the entire letter to the Galatians described this struggle). False teachers were saying that in order to be saved, one must not only believe in Christ but also be circumcised and obey the law. Acts 15:1 introduces the problem:

 

- (Acts 15:1) And certain men which came down from Judea taught the brothers, and said, Except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.

 

However, if we study the same chapter in more detail, we see that neither of these (circumcision and the law) – that were initially meant only for the descendants of Abraham – were necessary for salvation. When Peter addressed these requirements, he pointed out that they were not meant for Gentiles, and emphasized that both groups (Jews and Gentiles) were saved by faith and grace alone, not by anything else:

 

- (Acts 15:6-11) And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.

7  And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Men and brothers, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

8  And God, which knows the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did to us;

9  And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10  Now therefore why tempt you God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11  But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

 

Paul wrote about this subject in his letter to the Galatians. He wrote that if the Galatians circumcised themselves and tried to be saved by obeying the law, Christ would be of no value to them. They would actually abandon Him if they were to even slightly place their hope on these actions (it was not circumcision and the law as such, but placing one's trust in them. Taken in the right context, these are good things). Through circumcision, they would have been obliged to obey the whole law, which they were not able to do. Paul wrote:

 

 - (Gal 5:2-4) Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3  For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4  Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.

 

- (Gal 2:21) I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

 

Paul also reprimanded the Galatians for giving up Christ and listening to false teachers who brought this harmful doctrine to them:

 

 - (Gal 1:6-9) I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:

7  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

9  As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel to you than that you have received, let him be accursed.

 

- (Gal 3:1-5) O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

2  This only would I learn of you, Received you the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3  Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?

4  Have you suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

5  He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

 

THE Acts of faith

 

Even though the Bible very clearly teaches us that salvation comes only through faith, some people still resist that message and instead insist on believing that good deeds are required for salvation. Some argue that good deeds are for a prerequisite to salvation because so many references to the law and doing good deeds are contained in the Bible. They refer to the letter of Jacob in this context.

   We must understand, however, that Bible references to good deeds are noted because they were influenced by faith. A person's mind must be illuminated by faith, then good deeds follow. Faith is never the result of good deeds – good deeds cannot create faith. Faith produces good deeds. Thus, faith always comes first and is the foundation for everything else, just like a railway engine pulls carriages that automatically follow.

   Faith is like a tree that produces its own kind of fruit. This tree of justifying faith exists before the fruit; when the tree is good it produces good fruit – good deeds – because that is what it is meant to do:

 

 - (Col 2:7) Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

 

- (Matt 7:17-18) Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.

18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

 

- (Gal 5:22-23) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

When we consider the significance of faith and good deeds, there is no difference between the letters of Paul and Jacob, just as there is no difference between the roots and the fruit of the tree. Where Paul only emphasizes the roots, faith without good deeds, Jacob writes about the fruit, the result of the quality of one's faith. We are justified through faith alone without good deeds, but the same faith produces good deeds and the desire to live according to the will of God (the result of a living faith) (Jam 2:26).

   The significance of faith also comes up with many heroes of faith. These people did not receive faith after their good deeds; it was with them already before the deeds. In fact, it actually affected everything they did. These good deeds were only a consequence of the faith already affecting their hearts. The next verses of the Bible refer to these people of faith, and to the significance of faith and good deeds in general:

 

 - (2 Thess 1:11) Why also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power

 

- (Rom 1:5) By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name

 

- (Hebr 11:4-11) By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.

5  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

6  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

7  By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he went.

9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10  For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11  Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

 

Martin Luther wrote (in the Commentary on the letter of Galatians, pages 321-322) that there first must be faith in one's heart so that we can produce the right kind of actions or good deeds. They will properly come about only when faith has first had the chance to affect us:

 

When you read from the Bible about the righteous effect of the fathers, prophets and kings, about how they raised people from the dead, won kingdoms and so on, remember that these should be explained according to unusual theological language. This is how the Letter to the Hebrews, chapter 11, explains it: Through faith they kept righteousness in force, through faith they raised people from the dead, through faith they won kings and kingdoms; and so faith is connected with good deeds giving them the right context. The opponents cannot – if they have any common sense left – deny this, nor do they have anything to argue against or remark about. They may actually scream about how the Bible repeatedly talks about good deeds and affecting people. We will answer again and again: the Bible talks about good deeds that are carried out through and as the result of faith. The mind of a man must first be enlightened by faith before it can have an impact; and only after the right thoughts and knowledge, the "right view" of God, will the actions come alive and begin to unite with faith, and so all that is dedicated to faith is also dedicated to good deeds, simply because of faith. (…)

   If they do this, they can easily explain all those Bible verses that seem to support the righteousness of good deeds. True good deeds are, as I mentioned, the result of faith – in other words theological – for he who looks for righteousness from good deeds does not have righteousness at all.

 

"You can do whatever you WANT"

 

One claim the converts and religious people often make when talking about salvation by faith and grace alone, is: "If so, then we could do whatever we wanted and live the way we wanted because of the presence of grace, and nothing would make a difference." These people are in fact very similar to the people who lived in the times of Paul, accusing him of the same thing. Paul wrote about this as follows:

 

- (Rom 3:8) And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

 

So which is true? Is the previous view of the converts true or not? Can we live as we wish because of grace? Let’s take a look at this in the light of the following examples:

 

A new creation. When we turn to God, we become "new creations" who want to live according to the will of God; we become the temple of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit dwelling in us creates the desire to a new life. If we do not feel any desire to live according to the will of God, it only proves that we have not really been saved at all:

 

 - (Rom 7:22) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man

 

- (2 Cor 6:16) And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

 

- (Eze 36:26-27) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.

 

Paul's teachings do not imply that we should live in sin, even though everything is based on grace. On the contrary, he very powerfully emphasizes that sin should not be our master because we live under grace. He wrote as follows:

 

 - (Rom 6:1-2) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

 

- (Rom 6:14-16) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

15  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16  Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

 

- (Gal 5:13) For, brothers, you have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

 

Faith that is dead. The previous view is also wrong because if we continually live in sin and as we like (there is a difference between living in sin and falling into sin), it only proves that our faith is dead. We have the same kind of dead faith as evil spirits, and it will not save us:

 

 - (Jam 2:17) Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.

 

- (Jam 2:19-20) You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20  But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

 

- (Jam 2:26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

 

- (Romans 8:5-8) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

 

What is saving faith LIKE?

 

Sometimes people get confused about what saving faith is really like; it is not always easy to explain it. However, we try to study this vitally important issue in the light of the next examples:

 

1. Not theoretical faith. Saving faith is not theoretical faith, which is what many people have. These people may believe in all the essential things in the Bible such as the love of God, damnation, Heaven, and Jesus dying for them and rising up. They do not doubt their reliability. Read Oswald J. Smith’s description of his family’s theoretical faith:

 

(…) This was my difficulty. I knew that I had to believe, but I did not know in what way. In fact, I had always believed. There has never been a time, when I did not believe. Since my earliest childhood, I believed as much as I believe today, but still I did not know whether I was a Christian or not.

   You see, in our locality there were no atheists or doubters. I had never heard about godless people. Everyone believed. There was not a single person who would have doubted, and yet I knew quite well that in the neighborhood some were drunks, others swore and cursed, some lied and stole and did not consider themselves Christians; but they still believed. I did not know a single soul who would have questioned the word of God.

   Are not millions of people in the same situation? I have met them everywhere I have traveled. In the Soviet Union, Spain, Italy, and many other European countries, there are literally millions who believe and yet are not saved. And if millions who believe in Christ are not Christians, what does it mean to believe then? (11)

 

Instead, living faith, made alive by God, is not merely intellectual faith. Living faith requires that one turns to Jesus and God and when it comes to salvation, sets his whole trust on Jesus. It also includes turning to Jesus in prayer and receiving Him into your life, as the next verses indicate:

 

 - (John 5:40) And you will not come to me, that you might have life.

 

- (Matt 11:28-29) Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29  Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.

 

- (John 6:37) All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out.

 

- (John 1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name

 

2. Not a struggle, but a matter of trust. Saving faith is not a struggle or an attempt to pay for salvation or something we must do. Instead, it is giving up all attempts to effect our salvation and simply believing in the work someone has already done for us. (The author’s intention here is not to belittle good deeds but to emphasize that we should not put our trust in them; one can and should do good deeds after being saved) Believing is not a command at all but a promise of the work someone has done for us.

   When we realize that we cannot pay our debt of sin and save ourselves, we must look for rescue to someone who is already carrying our sins and reconciling us with God. We are saved simply by hearing and trusting – without a struggle – when we put our trust in the redeeming work of Jesus. The next Bible verses teach us about hearing and trusting (= believing):

 

- (Rom 10:14,17) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

17  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

- (Rom 1:15-17) So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.  

 

- (1 Cor 1:18,21) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God.

21  For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

 

- (1 Cor 15:1-2) Moreover, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;

2  By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.

 

- (Eph 1:13) In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

 

- (Mark 16:15-16) And he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16  He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned.

 

- (Acts 15:7) And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them, Men and brothers, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

 

3. Not believing in faith, but believing in Christ. Saving faith is not about believing in faith or anything else that is in us. It is not about observing ourselves and our feelings or measuring whether we have faith or not. Instead, the object of saving faith is always outside of us, in the fulfilled work of Christ and in His word. It means to believe in someone else than ourselves, that someone being Jesus Christ. The next verses talk about this:

 

 - (John 1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name

 

- (John 3:14-16) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15  That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

- (John 6:40) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

 

- (John 20:31) But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.

 

- (Acts 10:43) To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whoever believes in him shall receive remission of sins.

 

- (Acts 13:39) And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

 

- (Acts 16:30-31) And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.

 

- (Rom 10:11) For the scripture said, Whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

 

- (Eph 3:11-12) According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

 

- (1 John 5:13) These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.
