Hi all,
Since several people have responded that we are saved by "good works" -- I guess I have just one question. How do you explain Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."
This Scripture passage tells me that we are not saved through ANY WORKS -- not through helping the poor, not through baptism, not through attending mass, not through ANY WORKS.
How do you read this passage?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
