For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not of your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works so that no one may boast Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead James 2:14-17 ESV

Two Scriptures that represent the center of the Faith versus Works debate in Christianity. How does the Word reconcile the two, seemingly, opposing doctrines? The answer, similarly, is espoused in the Bible. for all who seek Truth, it finds you.

its not truth that you are looking for if you choose to dismiss what is being said for manipulation of what is being said. *
