There are two great errors commonly taught regarding the obtaining of salvation. The first of these two errors is taught by Roman Catholicism. Rome teaches that through one's good works produced by grace, the sinner earns God's favor and secures his own salvation by the merit of his works. This, of course, is contrary to the teaching of Holy Scripture. The second error is that a sinner can have salvation without works, which is the popular teaching of vast numbers of evangelicals. They have been taught that salvation may be attained if they only believe the truth regarding who Jesus Christ is and what He did through His life, death on His cross for sinners, and His resurrection from the dead. They teach that faith alone is necessary for salvation, not good works. Good works are desirable, they say, but they are not essential to the obtaining of salvation. But this is false. Although we are not saved by our works, we will not be saved apart from our works. Although good works are not the grounds of our salvation, they are essential to salvation. Addressing today's passage will underscore this biblical truth.
