Revolution in Progress
Ok, I posted before I read your responseWannabefree said:Works were required for salvation in the OT days as there was not a Redeemer to take our sins upon Himself. The act of sacrificing was the "works" that brought salvation. When Christ came, and died, He changed all of that.Dace said:Can someone explain 'works' vs 'faith' to me as related to OT and NT?
I have heard this before but being new to the Bible, I really am not clear.. I am assuming it is behavior vs faith?
NT works are no longer required for salvation. Salvation is through Christ. Works are required though, to show the love of Christ through you when you do works today. Our salvation now is through faith in Jesus Christ. Works are just an act of showing our faith in Him, and with the love of Christ...it comes pretty naturally
