What is the truth I should believe?

[Adventtruth]

I thought the Bible text would answer this question.

Unmotivated or dead faith is not faith at all and thus there is no salvation.

The foundation of salvation is that God reconciled us to Him.

mva. That text does not answer or even ask what is the foundation of ones salvation. That passage (James 2:14-26) is about genuine faith....genuine faith is proven as such by The Holy Spirit producing fruit in the life of a believer. Thats what the text is about.

God has torn down the wall of seperation between humanity and Himself that we can come boldly to the throne of grace. Thats the legal act of God through Christ, thus we have reconciliation in a general sense. But that does not answer the question...your personal salvation...what is it based upon...your merit, or the merits of another namely Christ's life and blood. Does God save you by His grace alone through Christ alone if you believe in Christ's life and blood without your performance? A one or the other answer will suffice.

You are twisting my response to AT...

I asked a question seeking clarification. I'd still appreciate that clarification.
