What is the role of grace, faith, and good works in the biblical message of salvation? This has always been an important question within the Christian faith. In the early 16th century, it led to the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther questioned the value of the book of James, which he felt taught salvation by works. He felt that James contradicted Paul’s teaching on salvation by grace through faith. But are James and Paul really teaching opposing ideas about the importance of faith and works? And if not, how do their teachings fit together?

Here are the Bible passages that were used in the preparation of this message:
Matthew 22:37-40
Luke 17:7-10
Romans 9:30-32
Galatians 2:16; 6:9-10
Ephesians 2:4-10
Hebrews 6:10-12
James 1:26-27; 2:14-26
1 John 3:17-18; 5:3-5
Revelation 2:2-4
