God bless you! I believe we are saved by the Lord's grace alone, and through a living and hearty faith (not just a mental faith but an active one that produces a change of life)! May the Lord guide us and help us all the have such a faith!
Ephesians 2:8-9. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Martin Luther threw out good works. He said "sin boldly!" I am a recovering weed and alcohol addict, ok, and I do not like what Luther said. Sin boldly. I do not desire weed and alcohol anymore.
