FAITH Alone:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 4:5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
Romans 10:9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
No wait, it's actually faith AND works:
James 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
James 2:24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.
No...sorry, turns out it's actually WORKS alone:
Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Romans 2:6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
You see, the bible is a completely consistent and cohesive collection of works that never contradicts itself and is always perfectly clear!
