The Importance of Belief and Obedience

You need both belief and obedience, my friends. You can't have one without the other. The Council of Trent responding to what was going on in the Protestant Reformation pronounces anathema on anyone who says that you can have salvation just in one of those areas without theother. So receive him, believe in him, obey his commands, put your faith in him,. approach that God who has approached you in the person of Jesus Christ.
