Are we saved by faith alone, or do we need works, too?

good works is output of good faith.

magkuyog man gyud diay. kay kung naay genuine faith magbunga man sad diay ug good works.

OT:
pero kinsa kaha naa nato anih noh? "faith as small as mustard seed" kinsa kaha naay true/genuine faith?

kay naa man gud to giingon:


nakapangutana lang ko kay wala man koy nakit-an tao nga makahimo sa ingon ani kasayon gud. galibog sad ko ani dapita dah.

Actually bro. Faith is receiving (John 1:12) or substantiating (Heb 11:1) of Christ as the substance of faith (Eph 3:8, Heb 12:2, Rev 2:13). So no one can say that I have genuine faith. We are not enough before God. Our human faith is not enough before God. Only Christ is enough before God. He is the reality of our Faith, His presence in us is our faith. He is our faith. When I sense death in my spirit, I am not in faith, so I am not in faith. When I sense life in my spirit I am in faith, I am in spirit.

So a little sense of life in you is a genuine faith and that is enough before God. It may not be enough for you, but what is important is that God is satisfied even with faith that is small as a mustard seed.

Now think about it, if you are in faith, can you still afford to commit sin? I dont think so. You are so outstanding in character, behavior and ethics if you are in faith in Christ Jesus. He is no longer living in the heavens alone but is also living, active and operating in you. He is within you when you have faith. Now if you drift to sin, turn ASAP to your spirit and be supplied with Christ in faith again to refresh you with Himself by His presence.

I hope this helps you.

dead faith is having a form of Godliness but deny the power therof.

[Usman77]

Faith and good works. Faith is empty without good works because they go together.

Faith and good works. Faith is empty without good works because they go together.

Actually, you dont have to have big faith to be saved. Infact the bible says you just need a faith as small as mustar seed. The Lord is not hard to please. Faith is not "magsalig" so you dont have to pursue the Lord? No, faith is a lifestyle, because it has been an attitude of your heart the bible say "The just shall live by faith" Romans 1:17. Faith is not about doing something for the Lord, it is abiding always in the Lord. When you ride a bus, work, eat etc...you have to live in and by faith.

bro, i think pasabot ana diha is little lng ang faith sa iyang mga disciples, wala sila ka heal, then lain pud si peter, katong naunlod siya sa dagat, mao gihapon to, gamay ra iyang faith. gi explainan sila ni Jesus nga have faith lng just the same size as mustard seed tanan mahimo nila same sa nahimo ni Jesus, kaya pud sa iyang mga students, ang iyang mga discples. faith as big as mustard seed can move mountains.

Matthew 17 (King James Version)
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Yes. Just focus on Christ. Be saturated with Christ by your faith alone. In this you will be transformed to become like Christ gradually.

God doesnt like people who are mere good men. Goodness comes from the same source as that of the evil. Remember, there was also a tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of eden. But the other tree is the tree of life. Now God wants us to bring us to that tree, the tree of the life. Not the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This tree of life can only be access through faith in Christ alone. So if you are a good man you are no better than a bad man. You have to be better than a good man who loves goodness and righteousness. You have to be a godman.A man who have God within you as life and man which is the outside of you which is yourself. Not just a goodman, because you can be a goodman without God within you.

God wants us to become man and at the same time are god within, regenerated by the life of God. He wants people to become a reproduction of Himself in Christ Jesus. People who will posess life and nature of God. His many children in eternity. Mao nang niingun ang bible if you believe in Christ, you will not die.

This enough for now.
