To say that faith alone in Jesus alone is not sufficient for our salvation is to dishonor God, His word, Jesus His Son, and to grieve His Holy Spirit.

To say that faith alone in Jesus alone is not sufficient for our salvation is to dishonor God, His word, Jesus His Son, and to grieve His Holy Spirit.

Jesus is God's Word made flesh, so following his example of embodying God's Word is the way to have faith in him alone for salvation. Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and sin is the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3:4), so Jesus graciously teaching us to be doers of it is intrinsically the way that he is giving us his gift of saving us from not being doers of it, so again obeying the Law of God is the way to have faith alone in Jesus alone, not saying that faith alone in Jesus alone is insufficient for our salvation.
