Freedom

I long to be free.
To see the open clear sky,
To be lifted high in Your hands.

Not to do as I please,
But to have the choice to do as I should.
Because my soul has to cling to something.

If the Son sets me free,
I shall be free indeed.

Theology 1

Are we saved by faith or works?

We are saved through faith that comes with works of faith which is given to us by God through grace. (Ephesians 2:8, James 2:24)

Salvation is not earned by works of the law(Romans 3:28), which can be defined as trying in our own efforts to live up to God's demand and standards of living through the Old Testament laws, regulations and commands. (Romans 7:13-25, 8:3, Galatians 3:10-12).

Hope this helps to clarify Ephesians 2:8 and James 2:24
