Considering Paul's message on faith and hope

Paul's message is confusing for some and complicated still for others. If we took the easiest message he provides, then we would walk away thinking our salvation, our hope, is based on faith, and faith alone. But in every chapter he addresses the thoughts and behaviors that will undermine our hope, despite faith. And in the end, Paul's view on faith and works is weighted more on the works side than faith. In Paul's world, if we fail to demonstrate works, then we cannot possibly be among the truly faithful, and if we're not considered among the faithful, then we must be part of the evil ones. As such, according to Paul, we will end up in a place of fire.

As I mentioned from the start, Paul's message may be considered confusing, but it's more complicated than that. To comprehend his message, we must consider his entire message.
