The Relationship of Faith & Works in Christianity

If we’re justified by faith, can we do whatever we want? In Paul’s grand exposition of the Gospel in Romans, he anticipates this exact question. The beginning of Romans 6 asks “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?” Paul’s resounding response – “By no means!” Mormons often bring up this exact objection to Christianity when they quote James 2 and say “Faith without deeds is dead”

The realities of salvation change us, such that if we’ve been justified by faith—we will certainly act differently. Good works are a certain result of a man who has been justified, and yet—they’re not a prerequisite for eternal life.

The relationship between faith and works are parsed out in Romans 6-8, which is the topic of this podcast episode. Bradley and Garrett walk through those 3 chapters of Romans and explain what Paul has said about our deeds. While works are not prerequisites of eternal life—they are important in the Christian life.
