*Some* Protestants slide into error when stating that salvation is by faith alone while believing that good works play no role in the Christian life.
Is the “fruit” of this “pit” licentiousness, lack of repentance, and false assurance?
*Some* Catholics slide into error when stating that salvation is by faith and works while believing that good works earn and/or merit justification with God.
Is the “fruit” of this “pit” legalism, condemnation, and complete lack of assurance?
-
Are the true “wheat” united in the truth that salvation is by grace through faith that leads to a Spirit-led life abounding and overflowing in the fruit of the Holy Spirit (namely: love), who works in and through us to do His will and pleasure, even the good works prepared beforehand for us to do for His glory?
And by living and walking in such truth by the power of the Holy Spirit, don’t we avoid licentiousness AND legalism, lack of repentance AND condemnation, false assurance AND lack of assurance?
