Saved by Grace, faith and love

[Jim_Baur]

Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

I Timothy 1: 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

How about…

1 Peter 3:21 Baptism…now saves you…

Romans 8:24-25 For in this hope we were saved…

Romans 8:15-17 …[we are] heirs of God and fellow heirs of Christ, provided we suffer with him…

James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Philippians 2:12 …work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each, one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body.

Romans 2:6-8 For he will render to every man according to his works…

Maybe it would be better to say that we are saved by grace, faith, hope, suffering, etc… working in love.

I agree 100000… %.

I am sorry that I did not elaborate.

I posted that to show that grace includes love.

It was for those who might think: saved by grace through faith (alone).

Again, I am sorry about the confusion. I agree with all you stated and many more passages. I even believe justification is made up of love and faith. I even believe love is first, as soul is first to body. Jesus did teach that lov is first and greatest.

I Timothy 1: 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus (KJV).

I think that these two passages are important. To me, they seem to work together.

I have always believed that ”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God” was incomplete. Grace, as I believe, includes love, not just faith. The passage from I Timothy seems to say that grace includes faith and love. Love then includes many more things such as patience, kindness, peace, hope and so forth (I Corinthians chapter 13).

Please know that I am not trying to cause problems, but this seems to be a huge Biblical truth.

Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

I Timothy 1: 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus (KJV).

I Timothy 1: 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus (RSV).

I Timothy 1: 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus (Hebrew Name version).

I Timothy 1: 14 and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus (American Standard Version).
