Love the video until the end where it started to send the wrong message of being save by faith alone!
We as orthodox Christian’s believe you are saved by both faith and works +
Hi brother Robert,
actually, that’s not quite right,
works are evidence of our faith, you can’t have one without the other.
St John Chrysostom and St Basil both preached that “works”,
that “Glorify Jesus” are an extension / evidence of our faith.
A Christian without works has no faith.
But what are works? St Basil says it is Greater to “Feed the poor” than it is to “raise the dead”.
So by that logic the little old lady who cleans the church floor is greater than the priest of the church.
So, your statement “We as orthodox Christian’s believe you are saved by both faith and works”,
is not Orthodox at all, otherwise it would contradict Ephesian Chapter 2.
In some churches Works for Salvation is highlighted to much; in others Faith is all you need is pushed and is false.
We must remember what James says in James 2 and marry it with Ephesians 2 and therein you will find the right ballance.
