“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. ” -Eph 2:8-9
Obedience must accompany faith. As evidence of authentic faith made real by grace as given by God.
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)
Solus Christus (Christ Alone)
Sola Fide (Faith Alone)
Soli Deo Gloria (To the Glory of God Alone)
Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone)
These are five principles that give us hope that we could live. And that God could be eternally 100% for us rather than against us and objects of his wrath (Ep 2:3). Principles recognized, understood, and followed to spiritually become made alive in Christ. This is what it is to be made alive in Christ. God sets His love and grace upon His elect for authentic repentance to obey the Son. We are otherwise dead spiritually and completely unable to believe and obey.
