@RonMaday

James 2: 18 Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder

@RonMaday There is a difference between self-righteousness and a sense of duty. The only way you can truly be devoted to Christ is if you do good for Him while knowing that you could, alternatively, turn away from Him. Christ wants us to love Him, and there is no true love without CHOICE.

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Dear friend, our good works are a result of our salvation, i.e. our new nature of being in Christ. It's the natural for us! However, if we even rely on a hint of our good works before God we are self-righteous and God despises that.

[RonMaday]

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Nothing? What does it say in Romans 3:27 "Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith." Romans 4:4-5 "Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness," Romans 5:1-9 aslo!

...is wholly dependent on God's grace--or, if you will, that initial and fundamental "move" on God's part.

God Bless.

@RonMaday I have, and there is nothing in there that rules out the idea that good works play a role in our salvation. That doesn't mean that we owe our salvation to our good works--the Catholic Church does not teach that. But they do play a role. What we have to understand is that grace does not obliterate or override nature--it builds upon and improves it. God calls us, through grace, to become cooperators in our salvation and in the salvation of others. But of course, the ability to do so...

@1r1shCath0l1c2 I highly suggest you read Romans 3:10-12;23-27

@1r1shCath0l1c2 Peter was saved, Judas was not. Judas was never saved. A lot of people were with Christ but not saved. If you read in John that many left Him and so did Judas. We are not saved by works, our works are evidence of our salvation. Yes, our works show our justification by faith. My friend, if you, however, trust in your good deeds to save you and not the finished work of Christ alone then you will spend an eternity in Hell because your works are filthy rags before God
