LESSON 2

                                      REFUTING SALVATION BY WORKS


                                           FAITH-ALONE PROOFTEXTS

                Acts  15:11a "But  we  believe that  through  the grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus
                Christ we shall be saved..."

                compare with


                Romans  11:6b  "...But  if  it  be  of  works,  then  is  it  no  more  grace..."
                (Salvation can't be through grace and works at the same time.)

                Romans  4:5  "But  to  him  that  worketh  not,  but  believeth  on  him  that
                justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."

                Galatians 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the

                law,  but  by  the  faith  of  Jesus  Christ,  even  we  have  believed  in  Jesus
                Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the
                works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."

                Galatians 2:21 "I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
                come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."

                Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of

                yourselves:  it  is  the  gift  of  God:  Not  of  works,  lest  any  man  should
                boast."

                Titus  3:5a  "Not  by  works  of  righteousness  which  we  have  done,  but
                according to his mercy he saved us..."
