The Importance of Faith in Salvation

Luther says justification alone is sufficient for salvation. But if you mean by sanctification, the completion of the whole process and call that process salvation, then just as essential and necessary a stage or step or dimension of that process is contributed by the works of love," he writes. The word faith was involved equally in the controversy, which has a broad and narrow sense,. Paul clearly seems to say that faith issufficient for salvation because faith isn't just intellectual belief but it's the basic yes to grace offer.
