“So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” —Romans 14:12 (NIV)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” —John 3:16 (NIV)

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” —Ephesians 2:8–9 (NIV)

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” —Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Conclusion:

• we are saved


• we are saved

“Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” —James 2:18 (NLT)

There is an absolute and undeniable connection between Loving

and Loving - Our vertical relationship with the Father (who is unseen) is proven by our horizontal relationship with people (who are seen).
