My wife and I were fmdiscussing this the other day. We were wondering if the super poor could be saved. Let me explain what I mean. We are saved by a faith that works right? Every Christian will have fruit like Jesus said. But what about the people that are so poor that they're homeless? The people that we as Christians help with our donations. They cannot afford to give to the poor. They cannot spare clothes or food or anything. So how can they do good works to be saved? I know that we are ultimately saved by faith in Jesus Christ but its like James said in James 2 faith without works is dead. So they have to have works to be saved. Does that mean that there's no way for the super poor to be saved? What good works could they possibly do? I know that it can't be the case that there's no way they can be saved. They have to be saved somehow. But how?
