Believing
in the finished work of God through Christ on the cross of Calvary can only be
possible through faith. Faith paves the way for salvation and create access to
God unlimited blessing for man kind.
The
Catholic Church, like the early Judaizers, says that justification is by faith
and works, not by faith alone. They are not merely saying that works must
follow faith; they are saying that both must precede justification. We utterly
deny it. Again, they say: faith – works – justification. The Bible says: faith
– justification – works. Rom.3:28 and Gal. 2:16 are very explicit that we are
justified by faith alone. Faith is the condition. It is not the ground of
justification. It is the condition in the sense that God will not justify
without it, and it is by faith that we are connected with Christ. He is the
true merit.
