Salvation by Faith ot salvation by Deed?

Both. We must first believe that Christ is our savior, but then we must also live lives that demonstrate this. We cannot simply believe and expect to be saved. God requires more of us than that. We must make a change in our lives to live a more Christian life, a life more devoted to God. I think doing good deeds come as a result of this. But one cannot be saved simply by doing lots of good deeds.

Hi there, first of all how do you know we gotta do good??of course by GOD.how do we know wat he wants us to do??of course GOD again...SO we gotta know him first to beleive in him and then our belief makes us to love him .And love for him makes us to follow him do wat he wants and that is do good.You see all is interconnected.Love is god and god is good.

If salvation is through good works, no person will be good enough to merit salvation. We all commit sin in one way or another and will fail to reach God's standards of holiness. Salvation is not faith + works but faith that works. A genuine faith that results to good works.

I believe God's Word Revealed "The Bible" says its true that man being a sinner can never save himself. Man can do many good deeds but never good enough to save himself cause no matter how good, nobody is perfect. Even David sinned with Bathsheba and David is termed "a man after God's own heart" So, i believe with all my heart that salvation is by faith.

Through faith in Jesus Christ we are being saved by GOD. Nood because of our deed. HOWEVER, when we received the Lord, we do good deeds, merely because we love HIM and GOD so loves us. We don't do good deeds for HIM to accept us, but we do good deeds for He taught us, He gave us the sample of living proof how to live, and because of love.

at first, i believed that doing good deeds will save you on your judgement day. but 2 yrs ago, i learned from a religious friend who has attended a religious seminar that in order for us to be saved we should have strong faith in HIM. doing good deeds is not enough to be saved. some do good deeds but don't have strong faith in HIM. they ask or question God's capabilities in granting their prayers.

It's your faith that drives you to do good.

We are saved by faith not good works but we do good works to keep our salvation

It goes hand in hand, if you believe that there is a supreme being, your mind will tell you to follow what is in, you believe as a good instruction...the Bible or whatever Holy book you prefer. Believing to what you cannot see exhibit Faith. When you packed yourself with these...FAITH,LOVE to supreme being... your tendency is to do good works. You do good works because you want to please God and because you know that this is what is right to do. SALVATION is a gift that everyone should accept. People can do good works but if the purpose is for self glorification instead of GODS...Good luck...let good deeds alone save you.

Faith is defined as human approval response to the revelation of God The Loving Father through His Son Jesus Christ - The Salvator. God our Father sent his Son to redeem our sins, this is the summit revelation. And this is an actual love that recreates us to be a new one. Having faith must be participating in this actual love God has revealed to us. God has loved us AT FIRST, in action, long before we could love Him. Once we've got involved in this interaction, we couldn't stop more. Once we've had faith, we couldn't stop loving in the mission of salvation, because God's love don't stop: from the begining, now and forever. Related to the deed we made, we know the exact motivation behind. We must ask: is it under the mission? That's the critical point, I think, to make a decission doe to human free-will.
